Angelique Hogan · Answer 1

X + y = 110

y = 2x + 20

x + 2x + 20 = 110

3x + 20 = 110

3x = 110 - 20

3x = 90

x = 90/3

x = 30

x + y = 110

30 + y = 110

y = 110 - 30

y = 80

Number of type 2 cabinets produces last week was 80

This number exceeds the number of type 1 cabinets produced during the week by 50.
