Over [174]

Answer:

Ashley used 87 pounds of type B coffee

Explanation:

4.3a  + 5.9b = 749.80

a + b = 142

b = 142-a

4.3a  + 5.9(142-a) = 749.80

4,3a  + 5.9(142-a) = 749.80

4.3a  + 837.8 - 5.9a = 749.80

4.3a - 5.9a = 749.80 - 837.80

-1.6a= -88

a= -88 / 1.6 = 55

55  + b = 142

b=  142-  55 = 87

That is the way we get how many pounds of type B coffee Ashley used
