sales rep says 3X as many homes available w/ 2nd plan....

[quita23852]

I understand 1a. but not 1b. Please help.

a) The sales representative informs you that there are two floor plans still available, and that there are a total of 56 houses available. Use x to represent floor plan #1 and y to represent floor plan #2. Write an equation that illustrates the situation.

x+y=56

b) The sales representative later indicates that there are 3 times as many homes available with the second floor plan than the first. Write an equation that illustrates this situation. Use the same variables you used in part a.

Re: math

x = 3y : kapish ?

x = 3y : kapish ?

Of course, I make lots of mistakes, but that looks like it should be y = 3x, to me.
