Each course at college X is worth either 2 or 3 credits. The members of the men's swim team are taking a total of 48 courses that are worth a total of 107 credits. How many 2-credit courses and how many 3-credit courses are being taken?

Let the number of courses that are worth 3 credits each be x and those worth 4 credits be y. With the given information, you can write the following equations:  

x + y = 48

3x + 4y = 155

You can solve the above equations by method of elimination/substitution

x + y = 48 ⇒ x = 48 - y (Now, substitution this equation into 3x + 4y = 155)

3(48 - y) + 4y = 155

144 -3y + 4y = 155

y + 144 = 155

y = 11

Now plug this solution back into x = 48 - y  

x = 48 - 11 = 37  

Check work (by plugging the solutions back into the 3x + 4y and see if it's equal to 155):

3(37) + 4(11) = 155

There are 37 of the 3-credit course and 11 of the 4-credit course
