Could you help me get started on this word problem. I think I can work it out once I have it set up.
Two friends rent an apartment for $975 per month. Since one bedroom is 60 sq ft more than the other bedroom each person's rent contribution is based on bedroom size. Each person agrees to pay $3.25 per square foot of bedroom area. Let x be the area (in square feet) of the larger bedroom, and let y be the area (in square feet) of the smaller bedroom. Write and solve a system of linear equations to find the area of each bedroom.
