0.14x + 0.07(280-x) = 0.08*280

0.14x + 19.6-0.07x = 22.4

0.07x + 19.6 = 22.4

0.07x = 2.8
x = 2.8 / 0.07 = 40
 x = 40 pounds of Soybean
280 -40 = 240 of cornmeal

USPshnik [31]
25 feet above sea level means she travelled 25 feet to the surface of the sea. She would have to descend (37-25=12) 12 more feet to achieve 37 total feet of travel, so she descended 12 feet below sea level.
