Question 820252: The UPS delivery man is delivering Christmas presents. The combined weight of the packages is 90 lb. He has 2 fewer 15 lb packages than 5 lb and twice as many 10 lb packages as 5 lb packages. How many of each weight package does he have? Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 5x + 10y + 15z = 90
z = x - 2
y = 2x
---
put into standard form:
---
5x + 10y + 15z = 90
x - z = 2
2x - y = 0
---
