Answer:

10 lb of cashews and 70 lb of peanuts

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the pounds of cashews.

Then 80 – x = the pounds of peanuts

Value of cashews + value of peanuts = volume of mixture

x×4.75 + (80 – x)×2.75 = 80×3     Remove parentheses

   4.75x + 220 - 2.75x = 240        Combine like terms

               2.00x + 220 = 240        Subtract 220 from each side

                          2.00x = 20          Divide each side by 2.00

                                  x = 10 lb

                          80 - x = 80 – 10

                         80 - x = 70 lb

Max will mix 10 lb of cashews with 70 lb of peanuts.

=====

<em>Check: </em>

10×4.75 + 70×2.75 = 80×3.00

    47.50 + 192.50 = 240.00

                240.00 = 240.00

How do you do equations and equalities on a number line
castortr0y [4]
To graph an equation on a number line, You place a point at where the number lies. For example, x=5 would mean that you place a point on 5 and not draw a line.

To graph an inequality on a number line, if depends if it is <, >, ≤, or ≥ . If it is ≤, it is a closed point on the number and a line moving to the left of the number. If it is a ≥, then it is a closed point on the number with a continuous line to the right. If it is a <, it is an open point on the number with a line going to the left. If it is a >, then it is an open point going to the right.

I'll attach a photo to show you what it looks like! :) Hope this helps! :)
