    First, you have to set up two equations. X + y = 45 18x + 24y = 1,050 To do this, you have to solve for an exponent by cancelling out the other one. To solve for y, you multiply everything in the first equation by - 18. - 18x - 18y = - 810 This cancels out the x and leaves you with 6y = 240. Divide both sides by 6 and you have the number of Yankee hats that were bought. Then, you have to substitute 40 for y in the first equation and solve for x.
