Kindly award branliest

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the mass of a clay pot be x

Let the mass of a metal pot be y

Thus; 2x + 2y = 13.2

And ;

x = 3 times y

x = 3y

2x + 2y = 13.2

2(3y) + 2y = 13.2

6y + 2y = 13.2

8y = 13.2

y = 13.2/8 = 1.65

x = 3y = 3(1.65) = 4.95

mass of a clay pot = 4.95 kg
