a roadside vegetable stand sells pumpkins for $5 each and squashes for $3 each. One day they sold 6 more squash than pumpkins and their sales totaled $98. Write and solve a system of equations to find how many pumpkins and squash they sold.

To get the answer we can make equationsLets assume that number of pumpkins sold.5*x - its how much seller get for the pumpkins3*6*x - its how much selleg get for the squasches.Now we can create equation5x+3*6*x=985x+18x=9823x=98      /:23      divide both sides by 23x=98:23x=4,26  ~ 4 - pumpkins6*4.26=25.56~ 26 squashes
