what do you mean, it does not "seem" correct? Did you not check it?
In fact, since both of your answers are even, there is no way the weights could add up to an odd number.
And, to add insult to injury, you declined even to show your work.
So, if there were x 12-lb bags, you know that
12x + 15(x+6) = 333
x = 9
Find the number of 12 lb bags of fertilizer and 15 lb. bags of feed in yesterday’s delivery if there were 6 more bags of feed than bags of fertilizer, and the total delivery weighed 333lb.
I got x=14 and x+6= 20. But that does not seem correct.
