Question

4 chocolate donuts and 1 jelly donut weigh 20 lbs. 9 chocolate donuts and 2 jelly donuts weigh 43 lbs.
What does each jelly donut weigh?

Answer 1

those are extremely heavy donuts o_O

Answer 2

Thus far this is what I have tried:
x= weight of a jelly donut and y= weight of a chocolate donut
so
{4y+1x=20
{9y+2x=43}
Is this the right track?

Answer 3

Yes! Now you can solve for x or y on one equation and plug it into the Other equation :]
