Answer:

X + P = 34

330X + 250P = 9620

Explanation:

The question tells us that there were 34 consoles sold. Therefore, we can draw the straight forward conclusion that whatever combination of consoles were sold, the number Xboxes (X) and PS4s (P) sold together has to be 34 in total. Thus:

X + P = 34

Now, we know the each Xbox sold for $330, and each PS4 sold for $250, and the total sales from the consoles bought was $9620. Thus:

$330X + $250P = $9620

Hope this helps!
