Stacy ordered $3\frac{2}{5}$ more sacks of brown lentils.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Sack of brown lentils ordered = $4\frac{2}{5}=\frac{22}{5}$

Sack of green lentils ordered = 1

Difference = Sacks of brown lentils - Sacks of green lentils

Difference = $\frac{22}{5}-1$

Difference = $\frac{22-5}{5}$

Difference = $\frac{17}{5} = 3\frac{2}{5}$

Stacy ordered $3\frac{2}{5}$ more sacks of brown lentils.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}10x^2-y=48\\2y=16x^2+48&\text{subtracy}\ 16x^2\ \text{from both sides}\end{array}\right\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}10x^2-y=48\\-16x^2+2y=48&\text{divide both sides by 2}\end{array}\right\\\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}10x^2-y=48\\-8x^2+y=24\end{array}\right}\qquad\text{add both sides of the equations}\\.\qquad2x^2=72\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\.\qquad x^2=36\to x=\pm\sqrt{36}\\.\qquad x=\pm6\\\\\text{Put the values of}\ x\ \text{to the second equation}$
