momtonate03 asked:

Elena has bought 320 tropical fish for a museum display. She bought 7 times as many triggerfish as parrotfish. How many of each type of fish did she buy? Write a system of equations to model the problem if x represents the number of parrotfish Elena bought, and y represents the number of triggerfish she bought.
If I can see how this is worked out then I am sure I can do the others!
