X=pounds of Type A coffee
y=pounds of Type B coffee

QUANTITY EQUATION:
x+y=178

COST EQUATION:
$5.45x + $4.20y=$870.10

STEP 1:
Solve for one variable in equation one.  Then substitute it in equation two.

x+y=178
subtract y from both sides of the equation
x=178-y


STEP 2:
substitute x=178-y in equation two

5.45x + 4.20y=870.10
5.45(178-y) + 4.20y=870.10
multiply 5.45 by everything in parentheses

(5.45*178)+(5.45*-y)+4.20y=870.10
970.10-5.45y+4.20y=870.10
combine like terms

970.10-1.25y=870.10
subtract 970.10 from both sides

-1.25y=-100
divide both sides by -1.25

y=80 pounds of type B coffee


STEP 3:
Substitute y=80 in either equation to solve for x

x+y=178
x+80=178
subtract 80 from both sides
x=98 pounds of type A coffee


ANSWER:
x=98 pounds of type A coffee
y= 80 pounds of type B coffee


CHECK:
Substitute answers for x & y into either equation to be sure it checks.

5.45x+4.20y=870.10
5.45(98)+4.20(80)=870.10
534.10+336=870.10
870.10=870.10

Hope this helps!  :)

(0,6)(5,6)
notice how the y values are they same.....this means u have a horizontal line with a 0 slope.

y = 0x + 6...slope intercept form
0x + y = 6 <==== standard form
