    Answer:

    168= 9x+6y

    y+x=20

    168= 9x + 6 (20-x)

    y=4

    x=16

    Answer:

    K+T=20

    $9K + $6T = $168

    K is the Kentucky blue grass in pounds

    T is the Tall fescue in pounds

    Step-by-step explanation:

    You can start with the first equation. We don’t know the exact amounts of each but we know that there was a total of 20 pounds, and there were 2 types of grass seeds, so we can get that the amount of pounds of Kentucky blue grass(K) and the pounds of Tal Fescue(T) has a sum of 20.

    K + T = 20

    For the second equation we know that there is a sum of $168 so we’ll start with that. Then, we know he paid $9 per pound of K so $9* the value of K is the amount paid for Kentucky blue grass total. This can be represented as 9K. We do the same for T, 6T. Since the sum of the cost of $9T and $6K must be $168 we can write this as:

    $9K + $6T = $168
