Answer:
x= 1.5
y= 4.125
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
given the two equations

Step two:
let us subtract the equations


divide both sides by 16

put y= 4.125 in equation 2

Answer: y= x/5 -6
Step-by-step explanation: gradient= 1/5...(m1m2=-1)
y-y1=M(x-x1)
y-8=1/5(x-10)
5y-40=x-10
y=x/5-6
Add the 2 values togetehr
First, we need to add up all the quantities in ounces. 10 + 14 + 40 = 64. One pound = 16 ounces. 64 / 16 = 4, so the total weight in pounds is 4 lbs.
