If the gourmet shopkeeper mix 15 pounds of coffee beans which costs 3.0$ per pound with 10 pounds of coffee beans costing 4.25$ per pound.
The mixture of 25 pounds will cost 3.5$ per pound.
It can be found using
3*x + 4.25*(25 -x) = 25*3.50
W+d=869
w=d-81
plug in
(d-81)+d=869
2d-81=869
+81 both sides
2d=950
÷2 both sides
d=475
dryer cost $475
let's check w=475-81
w=394
475+394=869
869=869
the solution is true :)
If the object is a true parallelogram, then p=36.4/5.2=7 yd.

Part a), solve this system of equations:
x + y = 5
x - y = 2.25
2x = 7.25
x = 3.625
y = 1.375
part b), solve this system of equations:
x + y = 5
x = 3y
y = 1.25
x = 3.75
