Mark ordered gummy bears and caramels for his candy shop. He ordered a total of twenty five pounds of there ingredients. Gummy bears cost $5 per pound, and caramels cost $8 per pound. He spent a total of $140. A. Write a system of equations that describes the situation. Define each variable you use.

B. Solve the system of equations from part A using the substitution or elimination method. Write your solution using a complete sentence. Is the solution reasonable? Why or why not?

20 pounds of Gummyballs and 5 pounds of caramel was ordered

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Gummyball = a

Caramel = b

a + b = 25 - - - (1)

5a + 8b = 140 - - - (2)

From (1)

a = 25 - b

Put into (2)

5(25 - b) + 8b = 140

125 - 5b + 8b = 140

125 + 3b = 140

3b = 15

b = 5

From a = 25 - b

a = 25 - 5

a = 20

Hence,

20 pounds of Gummyballs and 5 pounds of caramel was ordered

answer: (c) m∠qpo + (2x + 16)° = 180°

step-by-step explanation:

the opposite angles of a quadrilateral are supplementary.

so, ∠o + ∠q = 180°   and   ∠p + ∠r = 180°

since ∠r = 2x + 16°, we can use substitution as follows:

∠p + ∠r = 180°

∠p + (2x + 16)° = 180°
