Answer from: MannyRaw55

9 bottles of soda and 7 bottles of juice

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of bottles of soda purchased and y be the number of bottles of juice purchased.

1. Gabriel purchased 2 more bottles of soda than bottles of juice, then

x=y+2

2. Each bottle of soda has 35 grams of sugar, then there are 35x g of sugar in x bottles of soda.

Each bottle of juice has 10 grams of sugar, then there are 10y g of sugar in y bottles of juice.

In total, there are 35x+10y g of sugar.

All bottles collectively contain 385 grams of sugar, thus

35x+10y=385

3. Solve the system of two equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}x=y+2\\ \\35x+10y=385\end{array}\right.$

Substitute the first equation into the second equation:

$35(y+2)+10y=385\\ \\35y+70+10y=385\\ \\35y+10y=385-70\\ \\45y=315\\ \\y=7\\ \\x=7+2=9$

Gabriel bought 9 bottles of soda, and 7 bottles of sugar.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is solved by using a system of equations.

will be a bottle of soda, and will be a bottle of juice.

So, we know that each bottle of soda has 35 grams of sugar, this would expressed like: 35x .

In addition, each bottle of juice has 10 grams of sugar, this would be: 10y .

Now, the problem states that the total amount of sugar is 385 grams, this allows us to represent this with the equation:

35x+10y=385

The problem specifies that Gabriel purchased 2 more bottles of soda than juice, this is represents with this equation:

x=y+2

Now, we solve the system of equations 2x2, which will give us the result of each variable:

$\left \{ {{35x+10y=385} \atop {x=y+2}} \right.\\\left \{ {{35x+10y=385} \atop {(x-y=2})10} \right.\\\left \{ {{35x+10y=385} \atop (10x-10y=20}} \right.\\45x=405\\x=\frac{405}{45}=9$

This means that Gabriel purchased 9 bottles of soda.

Then, we replace this value in one of the equation to find the other result:

x=y+2

9=y+2

y=9-2

y=7

So, now we know that Gabriel bought 9 bottles of soda, and 7 bottles of sugar.
