Bob has some 10 lb weights and some 3 lb weights. Together, all his weights add up to 50 lb. If x represents the number of 3 lb weights and y represents the number of 10 lb weights which equation can be used to find the number of each type of
weight Bob has?
3x – 10y = 50
3x = 50 - 10y
50 + 10y = 3y
50 + 3y = 10y

3x = 50 - 10y

3x = 50 - 10y

step-by-step explanation:

proportions are fractions that equal to each other. so if two fractions are the same, they are proportional.

let's check the answers to see if they are proportional.

question a is not proportional because you can't turn 1.5/3 to 3/9. if you try to multiply 1.5/3 by 2 or 3, you wont get 3/9. it's impossible to make the fractions the same.

question b is not proportional because you can't turn 22/33 to 4/6. 33 can't go into 6.

question c is proportional because when you multiply 2 and 3 by 71, you would get 142/213, and those fractions equal to each other

question d is proportional because when you divide 14 and 7 by 2, you would end up with 7/3.5, and those fractions equal to each other.
