Question

A Candy Store Makes A 9-Pound Mixture Of Gummy Candy....(Rest In Comments Along With Answer Choices!)

Answer 1

Let x = # pounds of gummy candy.
y = # pounds of jelly beans
z = # of pounds of hard candy
Then we have
x + y + z = 9
2x + 3y + 3z = 23
x = 2y

Can you solve it now?

Answer 2

Yeah I think I got it, is it D?

Answer 3

so if we plug in x = 2y we have
2y + y + z = 9
2(2y) + 3y + 3z = 23

3y + z = 9
7y + 3z = 23 can you solve it now?
