Formulate a system of equations for the situation below and solve. Cantwell Associates, a real estate developer, is planning to build a new apartment complex consisting of one-bedroom units and two- and three-bedroom townhouses. A total of 168 units is planned, and the number of family units (two- and three-bedroom townhouses) will equal the number of one-bedroom units. If the number of one-bedroom units will be 3 times the number of three- bedroom units, find how many units of each type will be in the complex. one-bedroom units units two-bedroom townhouses units three-bedroom townhouses units
