let the number of acres for flax be f
let the number of acres for sunflowers be s
s + f = 240
f = s - 80
take it from there.
Define variable and write a system of equations for this situation. Solve using substitution.
A farmer grows only sunflowers and flax on his 240-acre farm. This year he wants to plant 80 more acres of sunflowers than that of flax. How many acres of each crop does the farmer need to plant?
