so H+L = ?

can you answer?

Answer 4

no idea how to start

Answer 5

i just told you how to start.

H and L are my two unknowns.
i need to write two equations with H and L so that i can solve and find H and L.

one of the clues is that total weight is 130 pounds.

so can you make one equation using that information?

Answer 6

Answer 14

Here's how my teacher taught me to do these:
If you have coffee A that is $3/pound, that will be x in our equation. Now we have coffee B that is $5/pound. We know that the total amount of coffee is 130 pounds, so we have (130-x) for the amount of $5/pound coffee
