Let x be the number of wireless keyboards sold. So the number of regular keyboards sold is three times this = 3x

So we have.....Quantity x Price = Revenue

x(105) +3x(84) = 4998       simplify

105x + 252x = 4998

357x  = 4998     divide both sides by 357

x = 14 = wireless keyboards sold

And 3x = 3(14) = 42 = regular keyboards sold
