Jordan Pham · Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = how many joe sold

let 4x = how many abe sold

900 = x + 4x

900 = 5x

180 = x

joe sold 180

and abe sold 4x

4 (180) = 720

hat means Abe sold 720 trucks

finally, let's check our answer to make sure the total is 900

180 + 720 = 900

our answer is right
