True, you can't simplify 1/2 any further
5x + y = 15
y = -5x + 15
Substituting y= -5x+15 from first equation into second equation:
3x + 2y = 16
3x + 2·(-5x + 15) = 16
3x - 10x + 30 = 16
-7x + 30 = 16
7x = 30 - 16 = 14
x = 2
Substituting x=2 into the first equation:
5x + y = 15
5(2) + y = 15
10 + y = 15
y = 15 - 10
y = 5
So your final answers are x=2 and y=5.

Answer: 136 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The ratio of cranberries and raspberries is 8:9 .
Let quantity of cranberries= 8x , quantity of raspberries = 9x
If quantity of cranberries = 64 ounces
Quantity of raspberries = 9(8) = 72 ounces
Total quantity = 64 ounces + 72 ounces = 136 ounces
Hence, the total weight of berries purchased= 136 ounces
