Answer:
3x +y = 13
Or, x=13-y/3......eqn(i)
Now putting the value of x
2x - y = - 1
Or, 2(13-y/3) - y = - 1
Or, 26 - 2y /3 - y = -1
Or, 26 - 2y - 3y = - 3
Or, 26 - 5y = - 3
Or, - 5y = - 3 - 26
Or,y = - 39/ (- 5)
Or, y = 7.8~
1/2 ton would be the correct answer since a single ton is 2,000 lbs
Option 2.)
