Answer:
40/3, 172/3, respectively
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 9 = 2y
2x = 2y + 2
x + 9 = 2(2x - 2)
4x - 4 = x + 9
3x - 13 = 0
x = 13/3
y = 40/6
RT = 13/3 + 9 = 40/3
QS = 160/3 + 4 = 172/3
9 + 3 = 12
48 divided by 12 = 4
1 part = 4 berries
There are 9 parts blueberries
9 x 4 = 36
There are 3 parts strawberries
3 x 4 = 12
Therefore, there are 36 blueberries and 12 strawberries in the bowl.
