Answer:
<em>Farmer Bill sold 120 lb of potatoes</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose farmer Bill had x lb of potatoes. He sold a quarter to the first person. A quarter is written as (1/4)x. After that, Bill had x-(1/4)x = (3/4)x.
Then he sold 4/9 of what was left to the second person, thus it was left 1-4/9=5/9 of the remaining potatoes. Multiplying both factors:
This is the remaining portion of the potatoes.
Finally, he sold 4/5 of it and the last 10 lb. This means 1 - 4/5 = 1/5 of the remaining is equivalent to 10 lb:
Thus:
x = 120 lb

Answer:
(2,4)
*View attached graph*
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 3y = 16
2 + 2y = 10
2 + 2y = 10
-2 - 2
2y = 8
/2 /2
y = 4
2x + 3y = 16
2x + 3(4) = 16
2x + 12 = 16
- 12 - 12
2x = 4
/2 /2
x = 2
(x,y) -> (2,4)
Hope this helps!
