Solving Systems with Inverses · Exercise 57
Write a system of equations that represents the situation. Then, solve the system using the inverse of a matrix.
A food drive collected two different types of canned goods, green beans and kidney beans. The total number of collected cans was 350 and the total weight of all donated food was 348 lb, 12 oz. If the green bean cans weigh 2 oz less than the kidney bean cans, how many of each can was donated?
