You are in charge of buying hamburgers and chicken for a party. The hamburgers cost $2 per pound and the chicken costs $3 per pound. You have $60 to spend. Write and solve a linear equation to find how much chicken you can afford to buy if you buy 15 pounds of hamburgers.

Respuesta :

Answer:

2x + 3x = 60

2 * 15 +3x +60

30 + 3x = 60

-30         = -30

     3x/3 = 30/3

           x = 10

2*15 + 3* 10 = 60

30 + 30 = 60
