Number of pounds of cashews is 36 pounds and number of pounds of walnuts is 4 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Given details are cost of cashews = $1.58, cost of walnuts = 78 cents = $0.78, total weight of nuts = 40 pounds, cost of nuts per pound = $1.50
  • Step 2: Let number of pounds of cashews to be mixed be C, then number of pounds of walnuts will 40 - C. Form equation with these variables.

⇒ 1.58 C + (40-C) 0.78 = 40 × 1.50

⇒ 1.58 C + 31.2 - 0.78 C = 60

⇒ 1.58 C - 0.78 C = 60 - 31.2

⇒ 0.8 C = 28.8

⇒ C = 36 pounds

  • Step 3: Calculate number of pounds of walnuts

⇒ Number of pounds of walnuts = 40 - C = 4 pounds

R = recycling and reuse industry jobs
w = waste management jobs

we know, those two jobs combined are 1,275,000
or
r + w = 1,275,000

we also know that, whatever the "w" jobs are, are really less than "r"
jobs by 1,025,000

"r" has 1,025,000 more than  "w"
or
r = w + 1,025,000
or
r-w = 1,025,000

so... there, just solve by elimination, simple, notice the "w",
is just waiting to be eliminated :)

\bf \begin{cases}
r+\quad  w=1,275,000\\
r-\quad w=1,025,000\\

\boxed{?}+\boxed{?}=\boxed{?}
