Thank you from the bottom of my heart,
Please type your subject in the School Subject box. Any other words, including obscure abbreviations, are likely to delay responses from a teacher who knows that subject well.
Looks like a classical algebra problem to me.
280lbs=S+C weight equation
280*.09=.14S+.07C protein equation
How to solve?
I would multiply the top equation by.07, then subtract one equation from the other.
