9p + 34a = 253 and p + 8 = a are the two required equations which will give us the number of phones and accessories sold by Jose

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us denote the number of phones as 'p' and number of accessories as 'a' So, we can write the following equations from the given dа ta:

Given that levi made $ 253 commission

9p + 4a = 253 (1)

And, Jose sold sold 8 more accessories than phones. So we can frame a equation as follows:

p + 8 = a (2)

These two equations can be used and solved to determine the number of phones and accessories sold.
