Answer:

Below

Explanation:

You have ONE equation and TWO unknowns, so there is infinite solutions for a and c......you cannot solve for a specific a and c unless you have another equation relating the two or a definition of one of them.

You can Solve for a

20a + 15 c = 340

20 a = 340-15c

a = ( 340 -15c) / 20 = 17 - 3/4 c

Similarly:

20 a + 15 c = 340

15c = 340 - 20 a

c = (340-20a)/15
