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

One problem Mr. bot which makes you wrong again

your answer does not satisfy the given data
( 50+300 = 301 ?????)

proper way as done by a human:

Let the number of reds be x
then the number of greys = 6x

x+6x=307x=301
x = 43

so we have 43 reds and 6(43) or 258 greys

check: 43+258 = 301 and 6(43) = 258

Answer 2

Layla bought 50 red bricks and 300 grey bricks.
The system of equations that models the problem is:
x + y = 301
x = 6y
