Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent the number of books as:

Algebra 1 = A1

Algebra 2 = A2

Geometry = G

A1 + A2 + G = 23........Equation 1

An Algebra I book weighs 4 pounds, a Geometry book weighs 3 pounds, and an Algebra II book weighs 5 pounds.

4A1 + 5A2 + 3G = 93

emmasim [6.3K]
All you have to do is divide the left side of the ratio by 5 and the right side of the ratio by 7. The one that comes out even on both sides is the correct one.
