Answer:

The number of bags of Grow Rite brand = x = 42 bags

The number of bags of Great Green brand = y = 20 bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of bags of Grow Rite brand = x

The number of bags of Great Green brand = y

The equation is given as:

4x + 7y = 308....... Equation 1

5x + 6y = 330....... Equation 2

Using Elimination method.

Multiply Equation 2 by the coefficient of x in Equation 1 and Multiply Equation 1 by the coefficient of x in Equation 2

4x + 7y = 308....... Equation 1 × 5

5x + 6y = 330....... Equation 2 × 4

20x + 35y = 1540..... Equation 3

20x + 24y = 1320....... Equation 4

Subtract Equation 3 from Equation 4

11y = 220

y = 220/11

y = 20 bags

4x + 7y = 308....... Equation 1

4x + 7(20) = 308

4x + 140 = 308

4x = 308 - 140

4x = 168

x = 168/4

x = 42 bags

The number of bags of Grow Rite brand = x = 42 bags

The number of bags of Great Green brand = y = 20 bags.
