Question 923666: How many pounds of chamomile tea that costs $18.20 per pound must be mixed with 12lb of orange tea that costs $12.25 per pound to make a mixture that costs $14.63 per pound? Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1820x + 1225y = 1463(x + y)
y = 12
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
1820x + 1225y = 1463x + 1463y
y = 12
---
1820x + 1225y - 1463x - 1463y = 0
y = 12
---
357x - 238y = 0
y = 12
