A farmer plants 5 times as much corn as he plants soy. He plants 210 rows of crops total. Find how many rows of each crop the farmer plans to plant.

Answer 1

c = 5s

5 times as much corn as soy

210 rows of both total

c + s = 210

5s +s = 210

6s = 210

s = 210/6 = 35 rows of soy

210-35 = 175 rows of corn
