Let x be the mass of the paperbacks and y be the mass of the textbook.

20x + 9y = 44.4 ----------- (1)
25x + 10y = 51 -------------(2)

(1) x 10:
200x + 90y = 444 --------(1a)

(2) x 9:
225x + 90y = 459 --------(2a)

(2a) - (1a):
25x = 15
x = 0.6 -------- sub into (1)

20 (0.6) + 9y = 44.4
12 + 9y = 44.4
9y = 44.4 - 12
9y = 32.4
y = 3.6 

So the paperback's mass is 0.6 pounds and textbook is 3.6 pounds

sesenic [268]
Explanation:

The number of Beverages present at the store ;

Soda = 2000ml = 2L

Apple Juice = 2.5L

Fruit Punch = 1.5L

Lemonade = 2L

Now, we have to buy exactly 10 liters but it should be at least one container of each beverage.

Soda + Apple juice + Fruit Punch + Lemonade = 8L

So we need 2 L more.

The only way of doing this is by either having 2 containers of soda or 2 containers of lemonade.

We can conclude that the correct answer is:

Answer:The combination of beverages she can purchase is:Soda = 2 containerApple juice = 1 containerFruit punch= 1 containerLemonade = 1 container
