Dan stocked up on batteries. He bought 10 packages of AA and AAA batteries for a total of 72 batteries. The AA batteries are sold in packages of 6, and the AAA batteries are sold in packages of 8. Write a system of equations that can be solved to find how many packages of each type of battery Dan bought. Remember to define your variables.

x + y = 10

6x + 8y = 72

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of packages = 10

Total batteries = 72

For AA:

batteries per package = 6

Let number of packages = x

For AAA:

batteries per package = 8

Let number of packages = y

Number of AA packages + number of AAA packages = 10

Sum of AA + sum of AAA equals 72 batteries

x + y = 10

6x + 8y = 72
