combined.
What is the weight of the carrots?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Y= 7.9 lb

X= 10.1 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

The chef orders 2.2 lb more carrots than celery. The two orders weigh 10.8 lb combined.

Let carrot= x

Let celery= y

X+y = 18...... equation one

X= 2.2 +y.... equation two

Substituting the value of x into equation one

2.2 +y +y =18

2y= 18-2.2

2y= 15.8

Y= 7.9 lb

Substituting the value of yinto equation 2

X= 2.2 +y

X= 2.2 + 7.9

X= 10.1 lb
