Answer:

9 covid-19 vaccines and 19 flu vaccines.

Explanation:

Let the number of covid-19 vaccines given out = x

Let the number of flu vaccines given out = y

In total, she has given out 28 vaccinations, therefore:

[tex]\begin{gathered} x+y=28 \\ \implies x=28-y \end{gathered}[/tex]

• The covid-19 vaccine has 12 doses.

,

• The flu vaccine has 6 doses.

,

• Total number of doses = 222

This gives us:

[tex]12x+6y=222[/tex]

We solve the system of equations by substitution.

[tex]\begin{gathered} 12x+6y=222 \\ 12(28-y)+6y=222 \\ 336-12y+6y=222 \\ -6y=222-336 \\ -6y=-114 \\ y=-\frac{114}{-6} \\ y=19 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex]\begin{gathered} x=28-y \\ =28-19 \\ =9 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, she has given out 9 covid-19 vaccines and 19 flu vaccines.
