Question 915151: We are solving word problems using system of equations in my Algebra II class right now.
The problem says:
"Jackie wants to make a mixture of nuts to sell in her store consisting of hazelnuts and cashews. Hazelnuts cost $6.50 per pound and cashews cost $4.50 per pound. If Jackie wants 60 pounds of total mixture and the cost to be $5.10 per pound, how many pounds of each will she need?"
Reading this, I'm completely clueless as to how to set up my two equations. Once I have the equations I can solve it pretty easily but I have no clue how to set up the equations.
