You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A system of two equations can describe the problem.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "u = pounds of the lower cost tea
\n" ); document.write( "v = pounds of the higher cost tea\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight_green%28%284.3u%2B7.80v%29%2F50=5.14%29\"$ and $\"highlight_green%28u%2Bv=50%29\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "Solve the system.\r
