Question 793389
Mixture Problem.  
Let c = pounds of cashews
Let p = pounds of peanuts

Let M = pounds of the mixture, 2 pounds.


{{{(1.50c+0.5p)/M=1.15}}} and {{{c+p=2}}}
Solve these simultaneous equations for c and p.
As a start, {{{1.5c+0.5p=1.15M}}}
{{{1.5c+0.5p=1.15*2}}}
{{{1.5c+0.5p=2.30}}}
and to make this a more convenient equation,
{{{15c+5p=23}}}.


Your system should be used as:
{{{highlight(15c+5p=23)}}} and {{{highlight(c+p=2)}}}
