Answer:
let L=lucy and A=ayu
l+a=1080
l=7a 7a+a=1080
8a=1080 8a/8=1080/8
ayu=135
l=7a l=7×135
l=945 so:-135+945=1080
Lucy sold 945 iPads and Ayu sold 135 iPads
"It is a mathematical statement which consists of equal symbol between two algebraic expressions."
For given question,
Let Lucy and Ayu sold 'x' and 'y' iPads respectively.
Lucy and Ayu sold a total of 1,080 iPads.
So, we get an equation,
⇒ x + y = 1080 ...............(i)
Lucy sold 7 times as many as Ayu.
So we get the second equation as,
⇒ x = 7y ................(ii)
Substitute above value of x in equation (i)
⇒ x + y = 1080
⇒ 7y + y = 1080
⇒ 8y = 1080
⇒ y = 135
This means, Ayu sold 135 iPads
Substitute above value of y in equation (ii)
⇒ x = 7(135)
⇒ x = 7 × 135
⇒ x = 945
This means, Lucy sold 945 iPads.
Therefore, Lucy sold 945 iPads and Ayu sold 135 iPads
