Let:
x = Pounds of walnuts in the mix.
Each pound of walnuts costs $0.80. thus x pounds of walnuts cost 0.8x dollars.
Each pound of cashews costs $1.25 and the mix will contain 8 pounds of cashews, so the cost is 8*$1.25 = $10
The total cost of the mix is, therefore: 0.8x + 10 dollars.
We are also given the pound of mix costs $1.00 and we have a total of 8 + x pounds, so the total cost of the mix is 1*(8 + x) dollars.
Equating both costs:
0.8x + 10 = 1*(8 + x)
Operating:
0.8x + 10 = 8 + x
Subtracting x and 10:
0.8x - x = 8 - 10
Simplifying:
-0.2x = -2
Dividing by -0.2:
x = -2/(-0.2)
x = 10
Answer: 10 pounds
Answer:
x =

Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine if the point is a solution, substitute the coordinates into the left side of the inequality, evaluate and compare with right side.
- 8(3) - 2(2) = - 24 - 4 = - 28 < 6
Thus (3, 2) is a solution
each of the sides of your equation
by the value of
on each of your sides
(you get this because we solve the particular equation we added above)
on each of your sides
because it equals to
because it brings us closer and closer to the answer of
by the number
on each of your sides
