let the calories in one serving of peas be x
then the calories in a serving of carrots is x-45 and in one serving of beans is x-50
one serving of carrots + 3 servings of beans = one serving of beans
x-45 + 3(x-50) = x
x-45 + 3x - 150 = x
3x = 195
x = 65
there are 65 calories in a serving of peas
check
peas = 65
carrots = 20
beans = 15
is 20 + 3(15) = 65 ?? YES
