Respuesta :

Each package weighs 64 lb

each package contains 4 boxes

64lb= 4 boxes

Then:

Each box contains a 7lb of bags of beans and 1 bag of rise

4 (x+ 7)

x= weight of each bag of rise

64 = 4 (x + 7)

Solve for x

64 = 4x + 28

64-28 =4x

36 = 4x

36/4 = x

9=x

Each bag of rice weighs 9 lb
