Answer:
14 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equations can be solved for y by substituting for x. The first equation is convenient for writing x in terms of y.
<h3>Solution</h3>
x = 20 -y . . . . . . . subtract y from the first equation
7(20 -y) +5.5y = 119 . . . . . substitute for x in the second equation
140 -1.5y = 119 . . . . . . . . simplify
21 = 1.5y . . . . . . . . . . . add 1.5y -119 to both sides
14 = y . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 1.5
14 pounds of soy nuts should be used in the mixture.

<em>Additional comment</em>
There are many ways to solve a system of two linear equations. The attachments shows a matrix solution using a suitable calculator. It tells us that x=6 and y=14, as we found above.
Answer:
33
Step-by-step explanation:
If m = Mother's age and d = daughter's age, we can make the following equations
m = 3d
m + d = 44
Now, using substitution, we can substitute m for 3d in the second equation:
3d + d = 44, 4d = 44, d = 11
Then, we can plug d into the first equation: m = 3(11) = 33
