5/7 x 4/3 = ?
Let x be number of black markers
4.5x + 2x3.25x + 3x1.98x = 284.24
16.94x = 284.24
x = 16.78 = 17

<h3>Answer:</h3>
B) 10 pounds
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
Let x represent the amount of 70¢ candy to be added. The value of the mixture can be written as ...
... 90×30 + 70x = 85×(30+x) . . . . . where 30+x is the total weight of the mix
... 2700 +70x = 2550 +85x
... 150 = 15x . . . . . . add -70x-2550
... 10 = x . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
10 pounds of candy at 70¢/lb must be added.
In this equation y would equal 4 or it could be 1
