Question

Mr Nawa owns a company that makes two sizes of blocks, 4 inch and 5 inch. On Monday he had two clients, Mr LuLu bought 4 inch blocks and a 5 inch block and Mr Sili bought 4 inch black and 5 inch blocks. Using the statement above, make two statements of simultaneous equations.

Here are the two statements of simultaneous equations based on the information provided:

Identify the quantities of blocks purchased by each client.
Mr. Luvu bought $m$ 4-inch blocks and $n$ 5-inch blocks.
Mr. Silile bought $n$ 4-inch blocks and $m$ 5-inch blocks.
Formulate an equation for the total number of blocks purchased by each client.
Let $T_L$ represent the total number of blocks Mr. Luvu bought.
Let $T_S$ represent the total number of blocks Mr. Silile bought.

The two statements of simultaneous equations are:
For Mr. Luvu's total purchase:
$m + n = T_L \quad \text{(i)}$
For Mr. Silile's total purchase:
$n + m = T_S \quad \text{(ii)}$ $\begin{align*} m + n &= T_L \\ n + m &= T_S \end{align*}$
