Respuesta :

Let...

x=pounds of candy 1

y=pounds of candy 2

Now we need to make equations.

Equation 1: x+y=70

70 x 1.4 = 98

Equation 2: 1.25x+1.6y=98

Solve by substitution because it is easier.

x+y=70 -----> x=70-y

1.25x+1.6y=98

1.25(70-y)+1.6y=98

87.5-1.25y+1.6y=98

0.35y=10.5

y=30

x+30=70

x=40

answer: 30 and 40 pounds

Answer:

36 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

(See attachment)

63+2.6x=52.2+2.9x

     -2.6x           -2.6x

63=52.2+0.3x

-52.2 -52.2

10.8=0.3x

x(10/3)  x(10/3)

x=36
