Question

The bottom part that is hiding says system of equations

Answer 1

Let x be the number of associates designated.

Let y be the number of partners designated.

If there are a total of 13 lawyers assigned to the case, then this represents the sum of associates and partners:

`x+y=13...(1)`

Additionally, we know that the daily rate charged to the client for each associate is $400 and the daily rate for each partner is $1000. Then, the daily rate for all associates is 400x and the daily rate for all partners is 1000y. Knowing that the total daily charge to the client is $8800, then:

`400x+1000y=8800`

This equation can be simplified. Dividing by 200 on both sides:

`2x+5y=44...(2)`

From (1) and (2), the system of equations is:

`\begin{cases}x+y={13} \\ 2x+5y={44}\end{cases}`
