Question

The variable x represents the number of red bricks Layla bought and the variable y represents the number of grey bricks she bought.
Layla bought 301 red and grey bricks for a landscape project. She bought 6 times as many grey bricks as red bricks.
How many of each type of brick did she buy?
Which system of equations models the problem?

Answer 1

Answer:

$x + y = 301\\y = 6x$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x + y = 301\\6x = y\\x + (6x) = 3017x = 301\\x = 43\\43 + (43(6)) = 301\\y = 258$
