Solving (b): Cost of T

Substitute 16 for W



Hence, each tree costs $67
A = Anthony's weight
B = Anthony's brother's weight
A = 2B + 9 Plug in Anthony's weight
59 = 2B + 9 Subtract 9 from both sides
50 = 2B DIvide both sides by B
25 = B Switch the sides to make it easier to read
B = 25
Anthony's brother weighs 25 pounds.
