Let:
x = Pounds of walnuts in the mix.
Each pound of walnuts costs $0.80. thus x pounds of walnuts cost 0.8x dollars.
Each pound of cashews costs $1.25 and the mix will contain 8 pounds of cashews, so the cost is 8*$1.25 = $10
The total cost of the mix is, therefore: 0.8x + 10 dollars.
We are also given the pound of mix costs $1.00 and we have a total of 8 + x pounds, so the total cost of the mix is 1*(8 + x) dollars.
Equating both costs:
0.8x + 10 = 1*(8 + x)
Operating:
0.8x + 10 = 8 + x
Subtracting x and 10:
0.8x - x = 8 - 10
Simplifying:
-0.2x = -2
Dividing by -0.2:
x = -2/(-0.2)
x = 10
Answer: 10 pounds

Answer:
The answer is -343.
Step-by-step explanation:
If a term doesn't have an exponent, it's considered that the exponent is 1 (so basically, (-7)² x (-7)^1.
Multiply the terms with the same base (by adding the exponents - (-7)²+1<- (as the exponential value) (couldn't find the sign so sorry.)
Add the numbers: (-7)³
A negative base raised to an odd power equals a negative: -7³
Write the problem out: -(7 x 7 x 7).
Multiply: -343
