#10 study guide 9
| slice of pizza | single dip ice cream | one can of soda | |
| Lisa | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Mark | 2 | 1 | 2 |
| David | 3 | 0 | 2 |
Solution
Lisa has a total of 1030 of sodium
David had a total 2420 mg of sodium
and Mark had 1910 mg sodium
let, slice of pizza contains x mg of sodium
single dip ice cream contains y mg of sodium
and 1 can of soda contains z mg of sodium
Lisa takes 1030 of sodium
1x + 1y + 1z = 1030
david takes 2420 mg of sodium
2x + 1y + 2z = 2420
and mark takes 1910 mg of sodium
3x + 0y + 2z = 1910
solve the 3 equations for x , y , z
