A candle shop sells scented candles for $16 each and unscented candles for $10 each.The shop sells 28 candles today and makes $400.Write a system of
linear equations that represents the situation

Respuesta :

The system of equations becomes:     s  +    u  =   28  This represent the number of candles sold16s  + 10u  = 400  This represents the value of the candles sold--------------------- Now all that is left is to solve for s and u. I suggest eliminating one of the two variables. My choice would be eliminating the u terms.
the answer is 28 but idk how to explain how i got it
