Alberda sells beads to use in making Native American jewelry. Small beads sell for $5.80 per pound, and large beads sell for $4.60 per pound. Bernadette bought a bag of beads for $33.00 that contained 3 times as many pounds of the small beads as the large beads.
I think one equation is 5.8x+4.6y=33, but does anyone know the other one?
