Write a system of equations to describe the

situation below.
Turner is building bookshelves to sell at a furniture
store. First, he built 8 small bookshelves and 3 large
bookshelves, using a total of 369 nails. Later, he built
10 small bookshelves and 10 large bookshelves, using
a total of 780 nails.

Answer 1

8x + 3y = 369

10x + 10y = 780

Explanation:

x = small bookshelves

y = large bookshelves

8x + 3y = 369

10x + 10y = 780
