You have two people answer and whoever answer you think is better you can mark them as brainliest

There may be an error with the first answer choice because it can't have a negative. The problem is x + 2.6 = 3.5 correct?
Hope this helps!
So the best way to do these is concentration1 (%) × volume1 = concentration2 × volume2
Or C1V1 + C2V2 = C3V3, where C1 = 100% (bc ALL pecans), V1 = 6 lbs, C2 = 70%, C3 = 82%:
100%×6 + 70%×v2 = 82%×(6+v2)
100%=1.00, 70%=.7, 82%=.82
note: if none is poured out then v3 = v1+v2
6 + .7v2 = .82 (6+v2)
6 + .7v2 = 4.92 + .82v2
6 + .7v2 -.7v2 = 4.92 + .82v2 -.7v2
6 = 4.92 + .12v2
6-4.92 = 4.92-4.92 + .12v2
1.08 = .12v2
.12v2/.12 = 1.08/.12
v2 = 9 lbs
that's only v2!!!
For the final poundage, we need v3:
v3 = 6 + v2 = 6 + 9 = 15 lbs
First you have to get the number on the right 40 to equal 100 so do 40x2=80- +40x1.5= 100
Then do the same thing to the first number 8 so 8x2=16+8x1.5=20
then you have 20/100 right so then that number over 100 is the percent that you get ^-^ 20%
