A bag of 8 baseballs and 2 basketballs weighed 80 ounces. A bag of 5 baseballs and 3 basketballs weighed 85 ounces. How much does each type of ball weigh? HELP ASAP

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "e" represent the weight of a baseball, and "k" represent the weight of a basketball, all weights being in ounces. Then the given information can be summarized as ...

  8e +2k = 80

  5e +3k = 85

We can divide the first equation by 2 and subtract 4e to get ...

  k = 40 -4e

This can be substituted into the second equation to give ...

  5e +3(40 -4e) = 85

  -7e +120 = 85 . . . . . . . simplify

  35 = 7e . . . . . . . . . . . . add 7e-85

  5 = e . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 7

  k = 40 -4·5 = 20 . . . . . find k using the above equation

The weight of a baseball is 5 ounces; a basketball, 20 ounces.

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
