Step-by-step explanation:

Since X : Y = 1 : 2, X = 0.5Y.

Since Y : Z = 2 : 5, Z = 2.5Y.

We have X + Y + Z = 4Y = 40. Hence Y = 10.

X= weight of TV
y= weight of CD

3x+5y= 62.5
3x+ 2y= 52
You can either solve for a variable, or eliminate a variable by subtracting the second equation from the first:

3x + 5y = 62.5
-(3x+2y = 52)
0 + 3y = 10.5, so y = 10.5/3 or 3.5.

Now plug y= 3.5 back into any equation to get x:

3x + 5(3.5) = 62.5
3x + 17.5 = 62.5
3x = 45
x = 15
Always check work. Both equations should be true for x=15, y= 3.5
