Lisa is ordering 5 bags of cat food from Canada. Each bag has a mass of 6kg To determine the shipping costs, Lisa needs to know the total weight in pounds. What is the weight of the cat food in pounds?

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18

it would open into a square depending on the type of envelope i’m not sure about the second part
