Explanation

Let 𝑥 x be the number of Single-User licenses and 𝑦 y be the number of Multi-User licenses. Equations: 50 𝑥 + 120 𝑦 = 1200 50x+120y=1200 and 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 20 x+y=20 Solving the system of equations: 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 20 ⇒ 𝑦 = 20 − 𝑥 x+y=20⇒y=20−x Substituting into the first equation: 50 𝑥 + 120 ( 20 − 𝑥 ) = 1200 50x+120(20−x)=1200 50 𝑥 + 2400 − 120 𝑥 = 1200 50x+2400−120x=1200 − 70 𝑥 = − 1200 −70x=−1200 𝑥 = 12 x=12 𝑦 = 20 − 12 = 8 y=20−12=8 Therefore, 12 Single-User and 8 Multi-User licenses were purchased.
