First we define variables:
 x: The soccer team tubs
 y: the lacrosse team tubs
 We have the following system of equations:
 x + y = 224
 x = 2y-13
 Substituting (2) in (1)
 (2y-13) + y = 224
 We clear y:
 3y = 224 + 13
 y = (224 + 13) / (3)
 y = 79
 x = 2 * (79) -13
 x = 145
 Answer:
 
the soccer team raise 145 tubs

A horticulturist wants to improve the soil quality in a garden by adding 120 pounds of nitrogen and 54 pounds of potassium. A pa
eimsori [14]

x and y are the packs of organic and inorganic fertilizer, respectively.

pounds of nitrogen added = 2x + 6y = 120

pounds of potassium added = 3x + 2y = 54

eliminate the y terms. subtract the first equation from 3 times the second equation.

9x + 6y = 162

-2x - 6y = -120

------------------

7x = 42

x = 6

y = 18
