Answer:
amount of nuts = 2 pounds
amount of dried fruit = 4 pounds

Explanation:
We are given that x is the amount of nuts and y is the amount of dried fruit.
We are also given that:
1- Hunter needs to make 6 pounds of trail mix. This means that:
x + y = 6
This can be rewritten as:
x = 6 - y .........> equation I
2- x costs $4 per pound, y costs $3.5 and Hunter can spend a total of $22. This means that:
4x + 3.5y = 22 ..........> equation II

Substitute with equation I in equation II and solve for y as follows:
4x + 3.5y = 22
4(6-y) + 3.5y = 22
24 - 4y + 3.5y = 22
24-22 = 4y-3.5y
2 = 0.5y
y = 4 pounds

Substitute with y in equation I to get the value of x as follows:
x = 6-y
x = 6-4
x = 2 pounds

Hope this helps :)

Simplify   —

Equation at the end of step  2  :

            5        6

 (w -    —   ) -  —  = 0  

           4          7

Step  3  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

3.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  4  as the denominator :

            w           w • 4

    w =  —  =  —————

             1              4  

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

w • 4 - (5)     (4w - 5 )

———————————  =  ——————

     4                  4    

Equation at the end of step  3  :

(4w - 5)    6

 ———————— -  —  = 0  

    4           7
