Answer:

x=8

y=16

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+2y=48

3x+y=40

Ther is many ways to solve this, one of them is clearance:

WE CLEAR AN UNLOCKED (X) AND REPLACE IT IN THE OTHER

x= (40-y)/3

2[(40-y)/3] +2y=48

(80-2y)/3 +2y=48

(80-2y+6y)/3=48

80+4y=48(3)

4y=144

y= 144/4

y=16

x=(40-y)/3

x=(40-16)/3

x=24/3

x=8

An equation that correctly represent this relationship if x represents the number of pounds of fertilizer and y the number of ounces of weed killer is 0.5x + 3.5y = 70

Solution:

Given that, Bill spent 70 on fertilizer and weed killer for his lawn

Each pound of fertilizer cost 50 cents and each once of weed killer cost 3.50

We have to write an equation, if x represents the number of pounds of fertilizer and y the number of ounces of weed killer.

Now, total amount = amount for fertilizers + amount for weed killers.

Total amount = number of pounds of fertilizers x cost per pound + number of ounces of weed killer x cost per ounce.

$\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow 70=x \times 0.50+y \times 3.50} \\\\ {\rightarrow 0.5 x+3.5 y=70}\end{array}$

Hence, the equation is 0.5x + 3.5y = 70
