Question

jerome made lollipops with two different types of chips. there were only 29 total chips in all of the lollipops, but there were also 9 more milk chocolate chips than peanut butter chips. write the system of equations that models this situation.

Answer 1

x = 9 +y

x+y = 29

9+y+y = 29

2y = 20

y = 10 = number of peanut butter chips

x = 19 = number of chocolate chips
