Question

Number #2 please, I don’t know how to solve it.

Answer 1

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is HOW to solve this problem:

b = pounds of blue candy      then   r =  11-b = pounds of red candy

.79b = cost of blue candy             1.29 (11-b) = cost of red candy

   these two costs sum to   11.19  

.79b    + 1.29 ( 11-b)  = 11.19        Now you can solve for 'b'  the 'r' = 11-b

Answer 2

Answer:

Red candy =5

Blue candy = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the pounds of red candy be x and blue candy y. Then y=11-x

Also 1.29x + 0.79y=11.19

1.29x+0.79(11-x)=11.19

0.5x=11.19–8.69

0.5x=2.5

X=5

Red candy =5

Blue candy = 6
