Let x= truck
Actually, x is the number of round trips made by the 10 ton truck and y is the number of round trips made by the 12 ton truck.
x + y = 20
We know from the problem that if you add together the number of round trips made by each truck, you get the 20 trip total.
x= 20-y
This is just math to isolate x. So, now we can substitute "20-y" for x in the equation and it will be easier to solve.
10 (20-y) + 12y = 226
This equation reflects how much topsoil each truck carried. Truck x (which is 20-y now) carried 10 tons on each of its round trips, and truck y carried 12 tons per trip. [Note that even though its

The Euclidean algorithm starts with two numbers m and n, then computes
m = n ( q ) + r 1 n = ( r 1 ) ( q 2 ) + r 2 r 1 = ( r 2 ) ( q 3 ) + r 3 r 2 = ( r 3 ) ( q 4 ) + r 4
and so on, until
r n _ 1 = ( r n ) ( q n + 1 ) + r n + 1 r n = ( r n + 1 ) ( q n + 2 )
and r n + 1 is the desiblack gcd. Prove that r_n+1 is at least a divisor of both m and n.
