Answer:

x = 12 , y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x , y are two numbers.

x > y

1 ) Three times the greater is 18 times their

difference

3x = 18( x - y )

x = 6( x - y )

x = 6x - 6y

6y = 5x

y = 5x/6 ——-( 1 )

2 ) 4 times the smaller is 4 less than twice

the sum of the two

4y + 4 = 2 ( x + y )

2y + 2 = x + y

y = x -2 ——( 2 )

From ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) ,

5x/6 = x -2

( 5x /6 ) - x = -2

( 5x - 6x ) /6 = -2

-x = -12

x = 12

Put x = 12 in equation ( 2 ) , we get

y = 12 - 2

y = 10

Therefore ,

x = 12 , y = 10

Dude is making 12 pounds of nut mixture with macadamia nuts and almonds. Macadamia nuts cost $9 per pound and almonds cost $5.25
pshichka [43]

Number of pounds of macadamia nuts is 8 pounds and number of pounds of almonds is 4 pounds.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1:

Given total pounds of mixture = 12 pounds, cost of macadamia nuts per pound = $9, cost of almonds per pound = $5.25, total cost of mixture per pound = $7.75.

Let number of pounds of macadamia nuts be x and number of pounds of almonds be 12-x.

Step 2:

Form an equation using the above information.

⇒ 9x + 5.25 (12-x) = 12 × 7.75

⇒ 9x + 63 - 5.25x = 93

⇒ 9x - 5.25x = 30

⇒ 3.75x = 30

⇒ x = 8

Number of macadamia nuts is 8 pounds.

Step 3:

Calculate number pounds of almonds

⇒ Number of pounds of almonds = 12 - x = 4 pounds.
