    Answer: 225 altogether.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represent Meihua's number and y represent Maria's number of books.

    4x = y and x + 135 = y

    Substitute and solve for x

    4x = x + 135 Subtract x from both sides.

    3x = 135. Divide both sides by 3.

    x = 45 That's how many Meihua has. Then figure Maria's number by substituting 45 in place of x in the original equations.

    4 (45) = y. And 45 + 135 = y

    In both, y = 180.

    x + y = total altogether

    45 + 180 = 225
