Answer:
amount of nuts = 2 pounds
amount of dried fruit = 4 pounds
Explanation:
We are given that x is the amount of nuts and y is the amount of dried fruit.
We are also given that:
1- Hunter needs to make 6 pounds of trail mix. This means that:
x + y = 6
This can be rewritten as:
x = 6 - y .........> equation I
2- x costs $4 per pound, y costs $3.5 and Hunter can spend a total of $22. This means that:
4x + 3.5y = 22 ..........> equation II
Substitute with equation I in equation II and solve for y as follows:
4x + 3.5y = 22
4(6-y) + 3.5y = 22
24 - 4y + 3.5y = 22
24-22 = 4y-3.5y
2 = 0.5y
y = 4 pounds
Substitute with y in equation I to get the value of x as follows:
x = 6-y
x = 6-4
x = 2 pounds
Hope this helps :)
Hello!
Okay, so first we need to add like terms... so first, add the terms with the same variables. That gives us:
9x + 7y + 4 + y
Now add 7y and y
That gives us:
9x + 8y + 4
This can't be added anymore... this is as far as we can go because they are no longer like terms.
You have to start by using the distributive property on the left side.
3(2x-7)=5x+4
6x-21=5x+4 Then remove and combine alike terms.
+21 +21
6x=5x+25
-5x -5x
x=25
