Question: Assume you are shopping for home

[A] The sales rep. later says that there are 3 times as many homes available with the second floor plan than the first. Write equation that illustrates these using same variables: 

[B] The sales rep informs you that there are two floor plans still available and a total of 56 homes available. Use x represent floor plan #1 and Y to represent floor plan #2. Write an equation that illustrates this situation.

[C] What are the intercepts of the equation from part a of this problem? What are the intercepts from part b of this problem? Where would the lines intersect if you solved the system by graphing?

[D] Use the equations from part a and b of this exercise as a system of equations. Use substitution to determine how many of each type of floor plans is available. Describe the steps you used to solve the problem?
