Answer:
(15,18)
Step-by-step explanation:
write two equations with the information provided.
2x + 3y = 84
x + 4y = 87
use the property of substitution to answer.
x + 4y = 87, x = 87 - 4y
2(87 - 4y) + 3y = 84
174 - 8y + 3y = 84
174 - 84 = 8y - 3y
90 = 5y
90/5 = y
y = 18
Add the value of Y to an original equation. Solve for X
2x + 3(18) = 84
2x + 54 = 84
2x = 84 - 54
2x = 30
x = 30/2
x = 15
1/2 divided by 3 is 1/6.
So your answer is 1/6 pounds each person.
