A nut mixture of walnuts and cashew nuts at a small fair is $1.00 per pound of walnuts and $3.10 per pound of cashew nuts. Over

the entire day, 134 pounds of the nut mixture were sold for $241.10. If p is the number walnuts and n is the number of cashew nuts, then the system of equations that models this scenario is: p+n=134p+3.10n=241.10 Determine the correct description and amount of pounds for walnuts and cashew nuts that were sold.

Answer: 83 pounds of walnuts and 51 pounds of cashew nuts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the amount of pounds for walnuts and n be the amount of pounds for  cashew nuts that were sold.

Given : A nut mixture of walnuts and cashew nuts at a small fair is $1.00 per pound of walnuts and $3.10 per pound of cashew nuts.

Over the entire day, 134 pounds of the nut mixture were sold for $241.10.

Then, system of equation represents the given situation will be :-

p+n=134----------(1)\\\\p+3.10n=241.10----------(2)

Eliminate (1) from (2), we get

2.10n=107.1

Divide 2.10 from both sides , we get

n=51

Put value of n in (1), we get

p+51=134\\\\\Rightarrow\ p=134-51=83

Hence, the correct description will be : 83 pounds of walnuts and 51 pounds of cashew nuts.

1/5x-2/3y=30 when y=15
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Set y to 15 and solve</u>

<u />\frac{1}{5}x - \frac{2}{3}*15=30

\frac{1}{5}x-10=30

<em>Add 10 to both sides</em>

<em />\frac{1}{5}x-10+10=30+10

\frac{1}{5}x=40

<em>Multiply both sides by 5</em>

<em />\frac{1}{5}x*\frac{5}{1}=40*\frac{5}{1}

x=200

Answer:  x=200
