A dairy farm has 2 cows, last month, cow A produced 250 gallons less than twice the amount of milk from cow B. Together, the two cows produced 1200 gallons of milk
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let’s get how much gallons of milk does cow B produced.
A + B = 1200 gallons of milk
(2B – 250) + B = 1200
3B = 1200 + 250
3B = 1450
3B/3 = 1450/3
B = 483 1/3 gallons
Now, let’s get how much gallons of milk does cow A produced.
A = 2B – 250
A = 2(483 1/3) – 250
A = 2(1450/3) – 250
A = (2900/3) -250
A = (966 2/3) – 250
A = 716 2/3 gallons
