(1) Let x = standard shipments and y = express.
y = 108 - x
3.5x + 7.5y = 506
Substitute 108-x for y in second equation and solve for x. Insert that value into the first equation and solve for y. Check by inserting both values into the second equation.
(2) Use similar process to 1.
y = 108 - x
3.5x + 7.5y = 506
Substitute 108-x for y in second equation and solve for x. Insert that value into the first equation and solve for y. Check by inserting both values into the second equation.
