340 pounds of paper and 108 pounds of cans will be collected by students in September and October combined.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Paper collected in September = x = 85 pounds

Cans collected in September = y = 18 pounds

Goals for October;

Paper = Three time the amount of September

Paper = 3x

Paper = 3(85) = 255 pounds

Cans = Five times the amount of September

Cans = 5y

Cans = 5(18) = 90 pounds

Total amount of paper collected = Amount of September + Amount of October

Total amount of paper collected = 85+255 = 340 pounds

Total amount of cans collected = Amount of September + Amount of October

Total amount of cans collected = 18+90 = 108 pounds

340 pounds of paper and 108 pounds of cans will be collected by students in September and October combined.
