Answer:
x = 4
y = 6
z = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
bags of pecans = x
bags of walnuts = y
bags of almonds = z
x + y + z = 15
3x + 3.5y + 4z = 53
Two more bags of walnuts were sold than pecans.
Walnuts = x + 2
x + y + z = 15
3x + 3.5y + 4z = 53
x + x + 2 + z = 15
3x + 3.5(x+2) + 4z = 53
2x + z = 15 - 2
3x + 3.5x + 7 + 4z = 53
2x + z = 13 (1)
6.5x + 4z = 46 (2)
Multiply (1) by 4
8x + 4z = 52 (3)
6.5x + 4z = 46 (2)
Subtract (2) from (3)
8x - 6.5x = 52 - 46
1.5x = 6
Divide both sides by 1.5
x = 4 bags
y = x + 2
= 4 + 2
= 6
y = 6 bags
Substitute the value of x into (1)
2x + z = 13 (1)
2(4) + z = 13
8 + z = 13
z = 13 - 8
= 5
z = 5 bags
Check:
x + y + z = 15
4 + 6 + 5 = 15
all you just have to do is divide 30 by 2 which is=15
and 40 by 4=10
50 by 10=5

5 is good plz mark me plxzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
First of all, we can solve this by elimination (adding the 2 equations and eliminating 1 variable).
3x+10y=-47
5x+7y=40
It looks like we can eliminate the x by making one 15x, and the other -15x (15 is the least common multiple [LCM] of 3 and 5).
5 (3x+10y=-47) --> 15x+50y=-235
-3 (5x+7y=40) --> -15x-21y=-120
15x-15x = 0, 50y-21y = 29y, -235-120 = -355
0 + 29y = -355
29y/29 = -355/29
y = 12.24
then plugged that into 3x+10y=-47
3x+122.4=-47
3x+122.4-122.4=-47-122.4
3x = -169.4
x = 56.47
Something is wrong... are you sure the 2nd equation wasn't equal to NEGATIVE 40??
Or the 1st one equal to POSITIVE 40??
