Answer:

84

Step-by-step explanation:

12*3+6x=4.20(12+x)

36+6x=50.4+4.2x

6x-4.2x=50.4-36

1.8x=14.4

x=14.4/1.8

x=8 pounds of cashews is used.

Proof:

12*3+6*8=4.2(12+8)

36+48=4.2*20

84=84

X+3y=3<br> 2x-4y=6<br><br> solve the equations
Gelneren [198K]
Subtract the second equation from double the first equation:

2x+6y-2x-(-4y)=0

10y=0

Therefore, y=0.  Substituting this into the first equation, we see that:

x+3(0)=3

x=3

Therefore, x=3.  The solution to this system is x=3, y=0, or (3, 0).
