Answer:
48.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute 2 for x and 3 for y
Multiply
Simplify by rounding then add to arrive at
Answer
Let n be the number of lbs of nuts.
Let r be the number of lbs of raisins.
9n + 3r = 60 * 5 = 300 .............(1)
n + r = 60
n = 60 - r ...............(2)
Plugging the expression for n in (2) into (1) we get:
9(60 - r) + 3r = 300
which expands to:
540 - 9r + 3r = 300 .............(3)
Simplifying and rearranging (3) we get:
-6r = -240
Therefore r, the weight of raisins = 40 lbs
and the weight of nuts is 60 - 40 = 20 lbs
