Answer 1

Answer:

Each game is 0.5 pounds and each textbook is 2 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

If x represents games and y represents textbooks you can use the equation

6x + 9y = 21

we know that if the box was 21 pounds and she adds two games and it's now 22 pounds that each game is 0.5 pounds so x = 0.5

after plugging in the x value the equation is:

3 + 9y = 21

Combine like terms and it's 9y = 18

Divide 18 by 9 and you get:

Y= 2

Hope this helps! Good luck on your test.

Answer 2

Answer:

the weight of 1 textbook is 2 pounds

the weight of 1 game is about 0.5 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 of 2 = 0.5 pounds

0.5 times 8 (games) = 4

22 - 4 = 18

18 divided by 9 (textbooks) = 2 pounds
