Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}y=7x+8&(1)\\y=x+20&(2)\end{array}\right\qquad\text{substitute (1) to (2):}\\\\7x+8=x+20\qquad\text{subtract 8 from both sides}\\7x=x+12\qquad\text{subtract x from both sides}\\6x=12\qquad\text{divide both sides by 6}\\x=2\\\\\text{put the value of x to (2):}\\\\y=2+22\\y=22$

Each pound of food C contains 6 ounces of ingredient P and 3 ounces of ingredient Q. Each pound of food D contains 4.5 ounces of

GuDViN [60]

So hmm the food C = 6p + 3q and the food D = 4.5p + 1.5q

now, if we check how much is the ratios of C/D for each component, then, mixture M = 144p + 60q, must contain the same ratio for each "p" and "q" component

$\bf \textit{ratio of "p"}\implies \cfrac{6}{4.5}\implies \cfrac{4}{3}
\\\\\\
\textit{ratio of "q"}\implies \cfrac{3}{1.5}\implies \cfrac{2}{1}$

so, if we divide the 144p by 4+3, or 7 even pieces, 4 must belong to food C and 3 to food D, retaining the ratio of 4/3

and we do the same for 60q, we divide it in 2+1 or 3 even pieces, but that one is very clear, 2 must belong to food C and 1 to food D, 60/3 is clear ends up with a ratio of 40 and 20

now the "p" part... ends up as $\bf \cfrac{144}{7}\cdot 4\qquad and\qquad \cfrac{144}{7}\cdot 3\implies \cfrac{576}{7}\qquad and\qquad \cfrac{432}{7}$

that's what I see it, as the ratio of 4/3 and 2/1 being retained in the mixture M
