Karen's mom runs a dairy farm last year Beti the cow give 375 gallons less than twice the amount from bessie the cow together Betty and Bessie produced 1464 gallons of milk how many gallons did each cow give?

Answer 1

Answer:

Bessie gave 613 gallons and betty gave 815 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 1464 gallons

y = 2x - 375

x + 2x - 375 = 1464

3x- 375 = 1464

3x = 375 - 1464

3x = 1839

x = 613 gallons

y = 2x - 375

y = 2(613) - 375

y = 1226 - 375

y = 815 gallons
