Answer:

Aircraft A: 403 seats

Aircraft B: 298 seats

Explanation:

Let's x represent the seats in Aircraft B

We have the equations:

Aircraft A: (x + 105)

Aircraft B: x

We Know

Their total number of seats is 701; find the number of seats for each aircraft.

We Take

x + (x + 105) = 701

2x + 105 = 701

2x = 596

x = 298 seats

So, there are 298 seats in Aircraft B

Aircraft A has how many seats?

We Take

701 - 298 = 403 seats

So, there are 403 seats in Aircraft A

Final Answers:

Aircraft A: 403 seats

Aircraft B: 298 seats
