    1.2 servings of broccoli and 1 servings of salmon.

    1.2 servings of broccoli are needed.

    Explanation:

    Let the servings of broccoli be x an salmon be y.

    One serving of broccoli contains 50 calories and 5 grams of protein.

    One serving of salmon contains 140 calories and 21 grams of protein.

    Calories in x servings = 50 x

    Calories in y servings = 140y

    Total calories when combined = 200 cal

    50 x + 140 y = 200 cal ... [1]

    Proteins in x servings = 5x

    Proteins in y servings = 21y

    Total proteins when combined = 27 g

    5x + 21y = 27 ... [2]

    On solving [1] and [2] we get:

    x = 1.2, y = 1

    1.2 servings of broccoli and 1 servings of salmon.

    1.2 servings of broccoli are needed.
