Let X = pounds of Bermuda grass needed.
(20 pounds bahia grass x $6.30) + ( X x $3.65) = (20 +X) x $4.90
Simplify:
126 + 3.65X = 98 + 4.90X
Subtract 3.65X from each side:
126 = 98 + 1.25X
Subtract 98 from each side:
28 = 1.25X
Divide both sides by 1.25
X = 28 / 1.25
X = 22.4 pounds required.
The answer would be -2! :)

9.0+0.80+0.05
Answer:age of the man: 75 age of the woman:25
Step-by-step explanation:
First, We need to define the variables
x: age of the man
y: age of the woman
at the first time he has three times her age
x=3y (1)
in 25 years time
(x+25)=2(y+25) (2)
we clear the equation
X+25=2y+50
X=2y+25
we substitute in the (1) equation:
2y+25=3y
y=25
x=3*25=75
