5 tins of soup have a total weight of 1750 grams. 4 tins of soup and 3 packets of soup have a total weight of 1490 grams. Work out the total weight of 3 tins of soup and 2 packets of soup.
Let tins be represented by XLet packets be represented by Y
5X= 1750X=350
4X+3Y=14904(350)+3Y=14901400+3Y=14903Y=90Y=30
3X+2Y= (3x350) + (2x30)= 1050+ 60= 1110
