Answer:
Worm Heaven 12,400
Wiggles R Us 5,600
Explanation:
Let r = the number of worms from Wiggles R us
Let h = the number of worms from Worm Heaven
2r + 1200 = h
h + r = 18000 Rewrite solving for h: h = 18000 - r
2r + 1200 = 18000 - r Substitute 18000 - r for h and solve for r
2r + 1200 = 18000 - r Add r to both sides
2r + t + 1200 = 18000 -r + r Simplify
3r + 1200 = 18000 Subtract 1200 from both sides
3r + 1200 - 1200 = 18000 - 1200
3r = 16800 Divide both sides by 3
=
r =5600 This is the number of worms from Wiggles R Us
To find the number of worms from Worm Heaven substitute 5600 for r
h = 18000 -r
h = 18000 - 5600
h = 12.400 This is the number of worms from Worm Heaven.
