p + m = 60, total printers (p) + total monitors (m) =60 25 p + 35 m = 1750, 25 pds per printer times the number of printers + 35 pds per monitor times the number of monitors = 1750 pds. p + m = 60 25p + 35m =1750 p=60 - m 25 (60-m) + 35m =1750 1500-25m +35m = 1750 -1500 = -1500 10m = 250, m= 25 p=60-m, p=60-25= 35 25 monitors, 35 printers
