Christopher purchased 2.8 pounds of almonds and 3.5 pounds to roasted pistachios.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of almonds per pound = $10

Cost of roasted pistachios = $12

Total amount spent = $70

Weight of nuts = 6.3

Let,

Weight of almonds = x

Weight of roasted pistachios = y

According to given statement;

x+y=6.3   Eqn 1

10x+12y=70   Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 10

10(x+y=6.3)\\10+10y=63\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2;

(10x+12y)-(10x+10y)=70-63\\10x+12y-10x-10y=7\\2y=7

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{7}{2}\\y=3.5

Putting y=3.5 in Eqn 1

x+3.5=6.3\\x=6.3-3.5\\x=2.8

Christopher purchased 2.8 pounds of almonds and 3.5 pounds to roasted pistachios.

Solve the system of equations. <br>5y-4x = -7 <br>2y+4y = 14​
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

5y-4x= -7 :

Slope = \frac{1.600}{2.000} = 0.800

<em>x </em>- <em>intercept =  </em>\frac{7}{4} = 1.75000

<em>y - intercept =  - </em>\frac{7}{5} =  -1.40000  <------both of these numbers a negative

----------------------------------------------

2y+4y = 14 :

<em>y = </em>\frac{7}{3} = 2.333

----------------------------------------------

<em>Hope this helped & good luck <333</em>
