Answer:
Infinite solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
2x−7y=12 (1)
−x+3.5y=−6 (2)
(2) x = 3.5y + 6
(1) 2(3.5y+6) - 7y = 12
7y + 12 - 7y = 12
12 = 12 (a true statement)
Since the variable got eliminated and we got a true statement, the system has infinitely many solutions.
One of the solutions:

Step-by-step explanation:
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
