103 is your answer and i gotta put 20 words so dont mind the rest HAKAKALLALAMANANAKALSKDUIWIW
7 lb will cover an area of 1 square foot, while 315 lb will cover an area of 45 square feet.
From given question,
252 lb = 36 ft² ..........(1)
The number of pound for an area of 1 square foot is calculated as follows:
x = 1 ft² .......(2)
The area and the amount of gravel are illustrations of proportions.
From (1) and (2) we get an equation,
⇒ x × 36 = 252 × 1
⇒ x = 252/36
⇒ x = 7 lb
We need to find the area that could be covered with 315 lb of gravel
The area to be covered with 315 lb gravel is calculated as follows:
315 lb = y ............(3)
From (1) and (3) we get an equation,
⇒ y × 252 = 36 × 315
⇒ y = 45 ft²
Therefore, 7 lb will cover an area of 1 square foot, while 315 lb will cover an area of 45 square feet.

Next time, please share your system of linear equations by typing only one equation per line:
<span>3x - 2y - 7 = 0 5x + y - 3 = 0 NO
</span><span>3x - 2y - 7 = 0
5x + y - 3 = 0 YES
Mult. the 2nd equation by 2 so as to obtain 2y, which will be cancelled out by - 2y in the first equation:
</span><span> 3x - 2y - 7 = 0
2(5x + y - 3 = 0)
Then:
3x - 2y - 7 = 0
10x +2y - 6 = 0
----------------------
13x - 13 = 0, so that x = 1. Find y by subbing 1 for x in either of the 2 given equations.</span>
