Question 930431: A store sells bluegrass seed that is worth $6 per pound and ryegrass seed that is worth $3 per pound. How much of each should be mixed to obtain 80 pounds of a blend that is worth $5 per pound? Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = pounds of blue-grass
y = pounds of rye-grass
---
x + y = 80
6x + 3y = 5*80
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x + y = 80
6x + 3y = 400
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:
