7.25x+4.05(50-x)=6.25*50
\n" ); document.write( "7.25x+202.5-4.05x=312.50
\n" ); document.write( "3.2x=312.50-202.50
\n" ); document.write( "3.2x=110
\n" ); document.write( "x=110/3.2
\n" ); document.write( "x=34.38 kg. of cashews are used.
\n" ); document.write( "50-34.38=15.62 kg. of walnuts are used.
\n" ); document.write( "Proof:
\n" ); document.write( "7.25*34.38+4.05*15.62=312.50
\n" ); document.write( "249.26+63.26=312.50
\n" ); document.write( "312.52~312.50
\n" ); document.write( "
