Answer:

X = 14 kg

Y= 7 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

LET  X and Y equal the amounts of brand X and Y

X = kg of brand X

Y = kg of brand Y

we know:

1)   X    +    Y   =   21    (kg)

2)   1X  +   4Y  =   2(X + Y)        (This is the cost/kg * amounts for total cost)  

Coefficients 1,4,2  are the cost/kg)

substitute eq. 1 (X+Y), = 21 into right side of equation 2

1X + 4Y = (21)*2

use elimination to solve 2 equations

X   +   Y = 21

X   + 4Y = 42        (now subtract,       note:  I wrote the 1X as just X)

------------------

0     -3Y  = -21       OR   Y = 7 kg   so X = (21-7) OR   X = 14 kg

12 students share 3 pizzas equally what fraction of the pizza each student gets
alekssr [168]
To find the solution, simply take 3 and divide it by 12. 3/12 as a fraction would be simplified down to 1/4 or 0.25. Therefore, each student would receive one quarter of a pizza.
