What are the two simultaneous equations that can be sued to represent this question?

l + s = 188 equation 2

Where:

l = calories in the low fat milk

s = calories in the skim milk

What is the calories in the skim milk?

Multiply equation 2 by 4

4l + 4s = 752 equation 3

Subtract equation 1 from 3

s = 86

What is the calories in the low fat milk?

Substitute for s in equation 2

l + 86 = 188

l = 188 - 86
