..., if 5 kg of brand A is used how many kg of brand A should be used to create a mixture with average cost of,...

Decide which. Not the same unknown and known.

Until you decide if it is given 5 pounds of Brand A or 5 pounds of Brand B , A is amount of Brand A and B is amount of Brand B.

Accounting for cost, 5A%2B8B=6%28A%2BB%29.
Either A is 5, and solve for B; Or B is 5, and solve for A.
