5h + 3d = 11.50 * 2
4h + 2d = 8.50 * 3
10h + 6d = 23
12h + 6d = 25.50
subtract the former equation from the latter:-
2h = 2.50
h = 1.25
so susbstituting in the second equation
4(1.25) + 2d = 8.50
5 + 2d = 8.50
2d = 3.50
d = 1.75

Let's begin noting that a triangle is isosceles if and only if two of its angles are congruent. We can thus find the angle <ABP, recalling that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is equal to 180°.
Finally, let point K be the intersection between segments BC and PQ, and let's note that the triangle PQB is a right isosceles triangle, since all the angles in a square are equal to 90°, and the two triangles APB and BQC are congruent.
Therefore, the angle BKQ is equal to 180-50-45=85°.
Of course angle BKP=180-85=95°.
Hope this helps :)
Let c represent the weight of cashews and p the weight of pecans.
Then c + 10 = total weight of the nut mixture.
An equation for the value of the mixture follows:
$1.50(10 lb) + $0.75c = (c+10)($1.00)
Solve this equation for c: 15 + .75c = c + 10. Subtract .75c from both sides:
15 = 1c - 0.75c + 10. Then 5=0.25c, and c = 5/0.25, or 20.
Need 20 lb of cashews.
Check: the pecans weigh 10 lb and are worth $1.50 per lb, so the total value of the pecans is $15. The total value of the cashews is (20 lb)($0.75/lb), or $15. Does (20 lb + 10 lb)($1/lb) = $15 + $15? Yes. So c= 20 lb is correct.
