Answer:
x = 25 - y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of item A that you sold.
Let y represent the number of item B that you sold.
The total number of item A and item B sold is 25. This means that
x + y = 25
The cost of item A is $3, the cost of item B is $4 and if the total amount of money made is $88, this implies
3(x) + 4(y) = 88 (Substitute x = 25 - y)
→ 3(13 - y) + 4y = 88
→ 39 - 3y + 4y = 88
→ 39 + y = 16
→ y = 23
If y = 23, then x = 25 - y = 2
