Answer :
Answer:
9 Model As.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A represent Press A and let B represent Press B.
So, they own 14 total presses. This means that:
[tex]A+B=14[/tex]
They can print 905 books per day, in other words, since A prints 70 per day and B prints 55 per day:
[tex]70A+55B=905[/tex]
This is now a system of equations. Solve by substitution. From the first equation, subtract B from both sides:
[tex]A=14-B[/tex]
Substitute this into the second equation: "
[tex]70(14-B)+55B=905[/tex]
First, we can divide everything by 5 to simplify things:
[tex]14(14-B)+11B=181[/tex]
Distribute the left:
[tex]196-14B+11B=181[/tex]
Combine like terms:
[tex]-3B+196=181[/tex]
Subtract 196 from both sides:
[tex]-3B=-15[/tex]
Divide both sides by -3
[tex]B=5[/tex]
So, the company has 5 Model B presses.
Which means that the company has 14-5 or 9 Model A presses.
And we're done!
