1.20x+.75(45-x)=1*45
\n" ); document.write( "1.20x+33.75-.75x=45
\n" ); document.write( ".45x=45-33.75
\n" ); document.write( ".45x=11.25
\n" ); document.write( "x=11.25/.45
\n" ); document.write( "x=25 pounds of almonds was used.
\n" ); document.write( "45-25=20 pounds of walnuts was used.
\n" ); document.write( "Proof:
\n" ); document.write( "1.20*25+.75*20=45
\n" ); document.write( "30+15=45
\n" ); document.write( "45=45
