a birdseed mix that costs $2.45 per pound is mixed with a birdseed mix that costs $2.30 per pound. How much of each type of birdseed mix must be used to have 30 pounds of a birdseed mix that costs $2.35 per pound?
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "$2.45 seed DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "Amt. = x lbs. ; Value = 2.45x dollars
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "$2.30 seed DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "Amt = 30-x lbs ; Value = 2.3(30-x) = 69-2.3x dollars
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Mixture DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "Amt. = 30 lbs. Value = 2.35*30 = 70.5 dollars
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "value + value = value
\n" ); document.write( "2.45x + 69-2.3x = 70.5
\n" ); document.write( "0.15x = 1.5
\n" ); document.write( "x = 10 lbs (Amount of $2.45 seed in the mixture)
\n" ); document.write( "30-x = 20 lbs (Amount of $2.30 seed in the mixture)
\n" ); document.write( "=======================
