Ronnie collects horseshoes and hand grenades and places
them in bags inside his room. One bag has 3 horseshoes and 7
grenades and weighs 32 pounds. Another bag contains 6
horseshoes and 2 grenades and weighs 22 pounds. Define the
variables for this problem, write a system of equations and
then find out how much 1 grenade weighs.

Respuesta :

Answer: 3.5 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

3 s   + 7 h = 32        s = shoes   h= hand grenades

6 s   + 2 h = 22        Multiply first equation by -2   and add to second equation to get :

-12 h = -42

h = 3.5 pounds
