Answer: infinitely many

Step-by-step explanation:

Just rearrange the second equation:

a(y - x + 6) = 0

y - x + 6 = 0

y - x = -6

x - y = 6

You have two equations that are identical. The number of (x,y) pairs satisfying "both" equations is just the number of pairs satisfying the first one. (Think about it, satisfying one is satisfying both.)

There are infinitely many (x,y) pairs satisfying x - y = 6, so answer is "infinitely many solutions."

Since "p" represents the number of pounds of peanuts and:  

4.05p + 14.40 = 4.50(p + 3) [then by distributing we have:

4.05p + 14.40 = 4.50p + 13.5 [then by subtracting 13.5 from both sides we have:

4.05p + 0.9 = 4.50p [then by subtracting 4.05p from both sides we have:

0.9 = 0.45p [then by dividing both sides by 0.45 we have:

2 = p

So there are 2 pounds of peanuts needed for the trail mix.
