4a + 7b = 38 -> (1)
9a + 7b = 68 -> (2)

Subtract (1) from (2),
9a - 4a + 7b - 7b = 68 - 38
5a = 30
a = 6

Answer:

7 pounds of fish
18.5 pounds of lobster

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of lobster sold. Then 25.5-x is the number of pounds of fish. The total money made is ...

4.25(25.5-x) +9.00x = 196.25

4.75x + 108.375 = 196.25 . . . . . simplify

4.75x = 87.875 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 108.375

x = 18.5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4.75

The market sold 7 pounds of fish and 18.5 pounds of lobster.
