If you're looking for x then it's 7. The value of -4 is -4.
Label each nut with a variable, c = cashews, p = peanuts.....
for a 10-pound mix, you will need c + p = 10
the price for 10-pounds would become 3.29 x 10 = 32.90
You will need an unknown amount of cashews at 5.60/lb and an unknown amount of peanuts at 2.30/lbs to get your full 10 pounds valued at 32.90
5.60c + 2.30p = 32.90
Now you 2 have a system of 2 equations and 2 unknowns
c + p = 105.6c + 2.3p = 32.9utilize substitution to solve:p = 10-c
5.6 c + 2.3 (10-c) = 32.9
solve for c then substitute back into c + p = 10 to solve for P
Hope this helps!
5x + 8y = 6p Subtract 5x from both sides
8y = 6p - 5x Divide both sides by 8
y = 
p - <span>
x</span>
870 is the only number out of those three that is divisible by 6.
