Question

Mr. Blackwell's company produces nuts and bolts. The total monthly profit for his company was $76,378. The profit earned from the nuts was $3,428 more than the profit earned from the bolts. Write and solve a system of equations that represent the situation

Answer 1

P=76,378N=3,428+BP=N+B=3,428+B+B=3,428+2B=76,378⟹76,378−3,428=2B⟹B=76,378−3,4282 Where P is total Profit, N is the profit from nuts and B is the profit from Bolts. Now you know the profits for Bolts and Nuts.

Answer 2

P=76,378N=3,428+BP=N+B=3,428+B+B=3,428+2B=76,378⟹76,378−3,428=2B⟹B=76,378−3,4282 Where P is total Profit, N is the profit from nuts and B is the profit from Bolts. Now you know the profits for Bolts and Nuts.
