 Word Problem
Wolfrich lived in Portugal and Brazil for a total period of 14 months in order to
learn Portuguese.

He learned an average of 130 new words per month when he lived in Portugal,
and an average of 150 new words per month when he lived in Brazil. In total, he
learned 1920 new words.

How long did Wolfrich live in Portugal and how long did he live in Brazil?
 Solving the Equation
through Elimination
Portugal + Brazil= 14 months to learn Portuguese

130 (Portugal) new words + 150 (Brazil) new words= 1,920 new words

-130(P+B=14) P+5= 14 9+5= 14

P+B=14 -5 -5
130P + 150B= 1920
130P+150B=1920 -130P + -130B= -1820 P=9
CORRECT!!!
