Number of apples in pounds picked up by Keira = K
Number of apples in pounds picked up by Larry = L
Number of apples in pounds picked up by Gita = G
Total number of apples they picked all together in pounds = 8360
Now from the given question, we know
Number of apples picked up by Kiera = 2L
So
K = 2L
L = K/2
Again Kiera picked up 3 times as many apples as Gita picked.
So,
K = 3G
G = K/3
Now if we add all the apples in pounds picked up by the three of them.
Then
K + L + G = 8360
K + (K/2) + K/3) = 8360
(6K + 3K + 2K)/6 = 8360
11K/6 = 8360
11K = 8360 * 6
11K = 50160
K = 4560
Then
L = K/2
   = 4560/2
   = 2280
G = K/3
   = 4560/3
   = 1520
Now we can say that
Kiera picked 4560 pounds of apple
Larry picked 2280 pounds of apple
Gita picked 1520 pounds of apple

Solve the system by substitution.<br> -8x – 7y = -5<br> -x = y
Lapatulllka [165]

Substitute y = -x into the first equation:

-8x - 7(-x) = -5

-8x + 7x = -5

-x = -5

x = 5

Substitute x = 5 into y = -x

y = -(5)

y = -5

Answer: x = 5, y = -5
