A:
Answer:[tex]\left\{\begin{array}{l}d=m+10\\ \\m+d=150\end{array}\right.[/tex]Step-by-step explanation:Let d be the number of kilograms of dark chocolate and m be the number of kilograms of milk chocolate Avery buys.She wants to buy 10 kg more of dark chocolate than milk chocolate, then[tex]d=m+10[/tex]She needs 150 kg of chocolate in total for her next order, so[tex]m+d=150[/tex]Hence, the following system of two equations represents this situation:[tex]\left\{\begin{array}{l}d=m+10\\ \\m+d=150\end{array}\right.[/tex]
