Answer:

11 2/3 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x pounds be the amount in pounds of Brazilian coffee.

x + 27  is the amount of coffee in lbs after the mixing.

So ,working in  values of dollars, we have:

6x + 4*27 = 4.5(x + 27)

6x + 104 = 4.5x + 121.5

1.5x = 121.5 - 104 = 17.5

x = 17.5/1.5 = 11 2/3 pounds answer

-7n    -7n
-2=-3n
divide -2 on both sides.
