x is the number of panels produced by A.
y is the number of panels produced by B.

3x = y
.04x + .05y = 1870

Substitute and solve.
Hint: the first one is already conveniently solved for y.

Correction: the first equation is x=3y and is solved for x

You cant actually answer this question its unknown actually because. It ask you How many panels did plant B produce Not How many Defective panels plant B Produced your math teacher should learn to write his questions properly

The problem is perfectly solvable.
I just did it.

You're given two equations and two variables. Plenty to figure out how many panels both plants created.

I don't just want the answer spelled out for me. but could someone tell me if i'm correct?

I got 28050 panels for plant b

please

>>14036875
No.
Remember that
>>14036866
got the first equation backwards.

>>14036879
so is it
.04(3*.05)+.05y=1870

you there?

>>14036884
Close.
You simply substitute x in that equation for everything on the other side of the = in the first equation, so:
.04(3*y) + .05y = 1870
Now that you only have y in this equation, you can solve it.

>>14036891
thank you!

>>14036893
Now what number do you come up with?

4%A + 5%B = 1870
A = 3B
if u sub it back u have:

4%*(3B) + 5% B = 12%B + 5%B = 17%B
17%B = 1870
then
B = 11000

>>14036891
11000?

>>14036901
Correct.
Enjoy your algebraic systems.
