Question

You and your friend are selling raffle tickets for a new laptop. You sell 14 more tickets than your friend sells. Together, you and your friend sell 58 tickets.

a. Write a system of linear equations that represents this situation. Let $x$x​ represent the number of tickets you sell and y$y$y​ represent the number of tickets your friend sells.
System of equations:



Question 2
b. How many tickets do each of you sell?
You sell tickets and your friend sells tickets.

Answer 1

x = you sold

y = friend sold

---

x + y = 58

x = y + 14

---

put the system of linear equations into the standard form:

---

x + y = 58

x - y = 14

x= you sold 36

y= friend sold 22
