2. In a certain year, solar and wind energy generation totaled 1037 Trillion Btu’s. Wind generated 56 Trillion Btu's more than eight times that generated by solar energy. How much was generated by each source?
The sum of solar energy can assumed as 'x', so it is easy to conclude that the sum of wind energy is '8x+56'. From the above assumption, we can easily get that 'x+8x+56=1037', to solve this equation and get tha
