Two servings of chicken and eight servings of turkey provide 298 grams of protein. Three servings of chicken and two servings of turkey provide 112 grams of protein. Determine the protein content in each item.

Answer 1

let x = chicken
y = turkey

2x + 8y = 298
3x + 2y = 112

solve..you know how?

Answer 2

2x + 8y = 298
3x + 2y = 112
2x=-8y+298
X=-4y+149
3(-4y+149)+2y=112
-12y+447+2y=112
-10=-335
Y=35.5
