X + y = 36
x = y + 22
y + 22 + y = 36
2y + 22 = 36
2y = 36 - 22
2y = 14
y = 14/2
y = 7
x + y = 36
x + 7 = 36
x = 36 - 7
x = 29
so ur 2 numbers are : 7 and 29

Answer:
56.25 pound of the coffee that costs $5 per pound is needed
18.75 pound of the coffee that costs $9 per pound is needed
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of pounds be x and y respectively
The total pounds is 75;
So;
x + y. = 75 •••••••(i)
Total cost of first type
9 * x = $9x
Total cost of second type;
5 * y= $5y
75 pound at $6 per pound; total cost of this is;
6 * 75 = $450
Thus;
9x + 5y = 450 ••••••••(ii)
From i, x = 75-y
Put this into ii
9(75-y) + 5y = 450
675 -9y + 5y = 450
4y = 675-450
4y = 225
y = 225/4
y = 56.25
x = 75 - y from i
x = 75-56.25
x = $18.75
