Both answers are not the same. You are correct and your friend is wrong. The situation your teacher gave could have only one other interpretation that would be acceptable and that would be 8t+3 because it is the same number just in a different order.
It says -18 is 18 digits away from 0
X - y + x + y = 180
2x = 180
x = 90
2x - 2y = x + y
x = 3y
y = x/3
y = 90/3
y = 30
x - y = 90 - 30 = 60
x + y = 90 + 30 = 120
2x - 2y = 180 - 60 = 120
Answer:
Brand X has to mix 8.4 oz of brand A mixed nuts which contain 35% peanuts and 12.6 oz of brand B mixed nuts which contain 25%, to obtain 21 oz. Bags of mixed nuts that contain 29% peanuts.

Hi
We define
, wich means Brand A has 1 oz containing 35% peanuts.
, wich means Brand b has 1 oz containing 25% peanuts.
So we can build an equiation system
(1) 
(2)
, after fixing it a little
(2)
As we can use any method to solve the system, I used a calculator wich thrown the following results 
and 
.
I would try and clean them off? I’m not sure but you should probably head to a vet
