Correct answer:

z =  600
m1 =  144
m2 =  1230

Step-by-step explanation:


m+z = 1500
0.16m + 0.21z = 0.18·1500

m+z = 1500
0.16·m + 0.21·z = 0.18·1500

m+z = 1500
0.16m+0.21z = 270

Row 2 - 0.16000000000003 · Row 1 → Row 2
m+z = 1500
0.05z = 30


z = 30/0.05 = 600
m = 1500-z = 1500-600 = 900

m = 900
z = 600

Our linear equations calculator calculates it.
m1=0.16 m=0.16 900=144
m2=1500 (10.18)=1230
