Marcario should use 4 pounds of macadamia nuts and 8 pounds of almonds.
Explanation
given
cost of macadamia nuts per pound=$9
cost of almond nuts per pound=$5.25
cost of the mixture per pound=$6.5
total pounds of the mixture to be made=12
let the pounds of macadamia nuts=x
pounds of almond nuts=y
total pounds of nuts=x+y=12
solving (1) and (2)
x=4
y=8
Answer:
x ≈ 1.5004
Step-by-step explanation:
We suppose your equation is ...
Squaring both sides and subtracting the right side gives ...
This 6th-degree equation has two positive real roots, near x=1.5, and x=2. The root at x=2 is extraneous. The one near x=1.5 is irrational.
