320 because you added the two numbers to get the total.
A-4=B
2+C=B
A+B+C=13
A=b+4
C=B-2
Plug in to equation 3
(B+4)+B+(B-2)=13
Rearrange
B=11/3
A=(11/3)+4= 23/3
C=(11/4)-2= 3/4

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
- Let (applicable to all three lines below)
- Hard candy = x kg with price $1.60/kg
- Gummy worms = y kg with price $2.20/kg
- Total weight = 50 kg with mixed price $1.75/kg
<u>Required equations:</u>
- x + y = 50 total weight
- 1.60x + 2.20y = 50*1.75 total price
=========================================
<u><em>Note</em></u><em>. It says don't solve but the solution below for those who is interested to know the answer.</em>
<u>Simplify the second equation and solve by substitution x = 50 - y:</u>
- 1.6(50 - y) + 2.2y = 87.5
- 80 - 1.6y +2.2y = 87.5
- 0.6y = 7.5
- y = 7.5/0.6
- y = 12.5
<u>Find the value of x:</u>
<u>Hard candy</u> = 37.5 kg and <u>gummy worms</u> = 12.5 kg
