Bob has some 10 lb weights and some 3lbs weights. Together, all his weight add up to 50 lbs. if x represents the number of 3 lb weights and y represents the number of 10 on weights, which equation can be used to find the number of each type of weight bob has?

You can write the equation as 50 = 3x + 10y or the other way around 3x +10y = 50


Hope it helps (:
