Step-by-step explanation:

x- red candy

y- blue candy

x + y = 11

1.29x + .79y = 11.19

129x +79y = 1119

-129x -129y = -1419

-50y = -300

y = 6 lbs. blue

x + 6 = 11

x = 5 lbs. red

Answer:

[b, r] → [$5, $6]

Step-by-step explanation:

{11 = r + b

{11,19 = 1,29r + 0,79b

-1,2658227848[11,19 = 1,29r + 0,79b]

{11 = r + b

{-14,164556962 = -1,6329113924r - b

________________________________________

-3,164556962 = -1,6329113924r

______________ ________________

-1,6329113924 -1,6329113924

6 ≈ r [Plug this back into both equations to get an approximate b-value of 5]; 5 ≈ b
