Let

x--------> the amount of gummy candy in pounds

y--------> the amount of jelly beans in pounds

z-------->  the amount of hard candy in pounds

we know that

x+y+z=9 --------> equation 1

2x+3y+3z=23 --------> equation 2  

x=2y --------> equation 3  

Substitute equation 3 in equation 1 and equation 2

[2y]+y+z=9 -----> 3y+z=9 ------> equation 4

2[2y]+3y+3z=23 -----> 7y+3z=23 ------> equation 5  

using a graphing tool ------> Solve the system of equations

see the attached figure

the solution is the point (3,2)

z=3\ pounds\\y=2\ pounds

<u>Find the value of x</u>

x=2y

x=2*2=4\ pounds

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the amount of gummy candy is 4\ pounds

the amount of jelly beans is 2\ pounds

the amount of hard candy is 3\ pounds

Let the amount of gummy candy used be x, that of jelly beans be y and that of hard copy be z, then
x + y + z = 9 . . . (1)
2x = y . . . (2)
2x + 3y + 3z = 23 . . . (3)

Putting (2) into (1) and (3) gives
x + 2x + z = 9
3x + z = 9 . . . (4)
2x + 3(2x) + 3z = 23
8x + 3z = 23 . . . (5)

(4) x 3 => 9x + 3z = 27 . . . (6)
(5) - (6) => -x = -4
x = 4

From (2), 2(4) = y
y = 8

From (1), 4 + 8 + z = 9
z = 9 - 12 = -3

What is the next value 4d 7g 10j 13
bearhunter [10]
13m 16p

Add three to every number next as well as move up three letters.

For example:
1A is the starting point.
To get from 1A to 4D you add three.

1 + 3 = 4
A to get to D is three letters up.
A b c D

Same thing for 4D to get to 7G.

4 +3 = 7
D to get to G
D e f G

Your answer:
I'm not sure if you wanted me to find the letter of the equation or the actual next part. On your question you have just 13 up there, no letter so if youre trying to find the letter (13m) is your answer.

If you're trying to find the next equation to the puzzle (16p) is your answer.

Hope this helped!:)
