Benjamin​ & Associates, a real estate​ developer, recently built 200 condominiums in​ McCall, Idaho. The condos were either three​-bedroom units or four​-bedroom units. If the total number of rooms in the entire complex is 712​, how many three​-bedroom units are​ there? How many four​-bedroom units are​ there? There are nothing three​-bedroom units and nothing four​-bedroom units.

Respuesta :

Answer: There are 88 three bedroom units and 112 four bedroom units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of three​-bedroom units and y be the number of  four​-bedroom units.

Then, we have the following system of equations :-

[tex]x+y=200------(1)\\\\3x+4y=712--------(2)[/tex]

Multiply 4 on both sides of the equation(1), we get

[tex]4x+4y=800-----(3)[/tex]

Eliminate (2) from (3)

[tex]x=88[/tex]

Put x=88 in (1), we get

[tex]88+y=200\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=200-88=112[/tex]

Hence, there are 88 three bedroom units and 112 four bedroom units.
