L = lemon drops
J = jelly beans
L +J = 100
L=100-J
1.90L + 1.20J=1.48*100
1.90(100-j) +1.20J =148
190-1.90J+1.20J=148
190-0.7J=148
-0.7J=-42
J = 60
L=100-60 = 40
40 pounds of Lemon Drops are needed
Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
-6x + 63 = -9
-6x = -72
x = 8
X intercept: (3,0)
y intercept: (0,-3/2)
200,000+8,000+500+60+1. Expanded form
The answer is:
Justin weighs 165 pounds.
Greg weighs 180 pounds.
If:
j - Justin's weight
g - Greg's weight
Then the system of equations is:
j + 15 = g ⇒ g = j + 15
1/2g = j - 75 ⇒ j = 1/2g + 75
We can replace j in the first equation:
g = <span>1/2g + 75 + 15
g - 1/2g = 90
1/2g = 90
</span>⇒ g = 90 ÷ 1/2 = 180
<span>
Thus, Greg weighs 180 pounds.
Now, using the first equation, we will calculate Justin's weight:
</span>j + 15 = g ⇒ j = g - 15
g = 180
Thus
<span>j = g - 15 = 180 - 15 = 165
</span>
Therefore, <span>Justin weighs 165 pounds.</span>
