Answer:
50-lb. bag of 8-0-24 fertilizer
To calculate the pounds of nitrogen: Multiply 50 by .08, which equals 4.
To calculate the pounds of phosphate: There is no phosphate in this bag of fertilizer.
To calculate the pounds of potash: Multiply 50 by .24, which equals 12.
A 50 pound bag of 8-0-24 fertilizer contains a total of 16 lbs of nutrients: 4 lbs nitrogen, 0 lbs phosphate, and 12 lbs potash. This would leave us with 34 lbs of filler.

Lets name this numbers a and b. So b is for 2 greater than a. We can write it like this: b = a + 2.
a+b=126
a+(a+2)=126
a+a+2=126
2a+2=126
2a=126−2
2a=124
a=62
Now we’ve got a, and we can calculate b easily:
b=a+2
b=62+2
b=64
