Answer:
Almonds cost $8 per pound and Cashews cost $10 per pound.
Assuming pounds of Almonds are denoted as a and Cashews are c, the formula will be:
8a + 10c = 60
Only Cashews:
This means that Almonds would be zero.
8(0) + 10c = 60
10c = 60
c = 60/10
c = 6 pounds of cashews
Only Almonds
8 * a + 10(0) = 60
8a = 60
a = 60/8
a = 7.5 pounds of almonds
A mixture of both.
We can use the formula above to calculate how many of each she can buy but she cannot buy more than 7.5 almonds or more than 6 cashews as she does not have enough money on her.
Assuming she wanted to buy 5 pounds of almonds, she would be able to buy:
8 * 5 + 10c = 60
40 + 10c = 60
10c = 60 - 40
c = 20/10
c = 2 pounds of cashews

Answer:
x = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y = -10 -------- (1)
x-y = 2 ------- (2)
from (1)
x+y = -10
y = -10-x -------- (3)
substitute (3) into (2)
x-y = 2
x-(-10-x) = 2
x+10+x = 2
2x = 2-10
2x = -8
x = -8/2
x = -4
