A bowl contains 61 red and yellow Skittles. The number of red Skittles is 10 more than twice the number of yellow Skittles. How many of each color are in the bowl?
Define your variables and write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of red
Skittles and yellow Skittles in the bowl. (DO NOT SOLVE THE SYSTEM)
Let
Equation 1:
Let
Equation 2:

the red skittles be 44 and yellow skittles be 17

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of each color are in the bowl is as follows;

Let us assume the red skittles be y

And, the yellow skittles be x

The first equation is

x + y = 61

And, the second equation is

y = 2x + 10

Now put the second equation in the first equation

x + 2x + 10 = 61

3x = 51

x = 51 ÷ 3

= 17

And, y = 2 (17) + 10

= 34 + 10

= 44

Hence, the red skittles be 44 and yellow skittles be 17

costs the what? what is the cost of the pants?

step-by-step explanation:

if it is $10, then the price is 14.

take 40% of the cost, and then add the cost.

40% of 10 = 4

4+10 = 14.

no because mercury has a density of 13.6 grams per centimeter squared while gold has 19.32 grams centimeter squared
