Answer:

The answer to your question is 41 acres of corn.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Total area = 64 acres

She plants 18 more acres than beans

Corn = c

Beans = b

Process

1.- Write two equations to solve this problem

             c + b = 64            Equation l

             c = b + 18             Equation ll

2.- Solve by substitution, equation ll in equation l

             b + 18 + b = 64

             2b + 18 = 64

-Solve for b

             2b = 64 - 18

             2b = 46

               b = 46/2

               b  = 23

3.- Calculate c

             c = 23 + 18

             c = 41

4.- Conclusion

She planted 23 acres of beans and 41 acres of corn.
