Answer:

x=10 and W=12

Explanation:

Let's solve the equations. First we need to understand that the problem can be solved because we have two variables (x, W) and two equations.

Now, we have the following equations:

3x+3W-66 making the equation equal to 0:

3x+3W-66=0 which can be express as:

3x=-3W+66

x=(-3W+66)/3

x=-W+22 (equation 1)

The next equation is:

12x+15W-300 making the equation equal to 0 and then divided by 3:

(12x+15W-300)/3=0 which is:

4x+5W-100=0 (equation 2), using equation 1 we can write:

4(-W+22)+5W-100=0

-4W+88+5W-100=0

W-12=0

W=12

Using W=12 in equation 2 we have:

4x+5W-100=0

4x+5*(12)-100=0

4x+(60)-100=0

4x-40=0

4x=40

x=40/4

x=10

In conclusion the solution for the equations are: x=10 and W=12.
