Answer:

There were 8 associates assigned to the case and 2 partners assigned to the case.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each associate costs the client $600 per day, so xx associates will cost the client 600x600x dollars per day. Each partner costs the client $1200 per day, so yy partners will cost the client 1200y1200y dollars per day. The total amount charged 600x+1200y600x+1200y equals \$7200:$7200:

600x+1200y=7200

600x+1200y=7200

Since there were a total of 10 lawyers assigned to the case (associates and partners), we know x+yx+y must equal 10.10.

x+y=10

x+y=10

​600x+1200y=7200

1200y=−600x+7200

1200
