Grass seed A costs $2 per pound, and grass seed B costs $4 per pound. If a mixture of 10 pounds costs $24, find the amount of each type that was mixed?
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let amount of $4 seed be \"x\" pounds.
\n" ); document.write( "Value of that seed of 4x dollars.
\n" ); document.write( "Amount of $2 seed is \"10-x\" pounds.
\n" ); document.write( "Value of that seed is 2(10-x)= 20-2x dollars.
\n" ); document.write( "Amount of mixture = 10 pounds
\n" ); document.write( "Value of the mixture = 24 dollars.
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "value + value = 24 dollars
\n" ); document.write( "4x + 20-2x= 24
\n" ); document.write( "2x=4
\n" ); document.write( "x=2 pounds ( amount of $4 seed)
\n" ); document.write( "10-x = 8 pounds ( amount of $2 seed)
