Lets x = # pounds of coffe
70 - 8.06x = 37.76
- 8.06x = - 32.24
x = 4
Answer
4 lbs
Ok so first we find the equation that equals one variable.
2y = -x + 9
3x - 6y = -15
We solve for y.
2y = -x + 9
y = -x/2 + 9/2
Then we plug in this y value into the other equation to keep only one variable so we can solve for it.
3x - 6y = -15
3(-x + 9/2) - 6y = -15
-3x + 27/2 - 6y = -15
-9y + 27/2 = -15
-9y = 3/2
-y = 3/18
y = -3/18
Then we plug in this numerical y-value into the first equation which we found out by solving an equation for y.
y = -x/2 + 9/2
-3/18 = -x/2 + 9/2
-84/18 = -x/2
-x = 9 1/3
x = -28/3
Your answer would be (-28/3, -3/18)
Hope this helps!
You do 6/4, so the answer should be: 1.5 hours!
