One serving (1/2 cup) of cooked peas contains 45 more Calories than one serving of cooked carrots and 50 more Calories than one serving of cooked green beans. If one serving of carrots and three servings of green beans contain the same number of Calories as one serving of peas, how many Calories are there in one serving of peas?
----------------------------
One-serving DATA:
Let # of calories in cooked peas is "x"
Then # of calories in cooked carrots be "x-45".
And # of calories in green beans is "x-50"
-------------
EQUATION:
carrots + 3*beans = peas
x-45 + 3*(x-50) = x
4x - 195 = x
3x = 195
x = 65 calories (# of calories in one serving of peas)
