Question 1026525
x= 	cost of	cashew						
y=	cost of	peanuts						
Total  sold								
3.00	x	+	2.00	y	=	17.50	.............1	
Total value								
2.00	x	+	5.00	y	=	19.00	.............2	
Eliminate	y							
multiply (1)by		-5.00						
Multiply (2) by		2.00						
-15.00	x		-10.00	y	=	-87.50		
4.00	x	+	10.00	y	=	38.00		
Add the two equations								
-11.00	x				=	-49.50		
/	-11.00							
x	=	4.50						
plug value of			x	in (1)				
3.00	x	+	2.00	y	=	17.50		
13.50		+	2.00	y	=	17.50		
			2.00	y	=	17.50		-13.50
			2.00	y	=	4.00		
				y	=	2.00		
x=	4.50		cost of	cashew				
y=	2.00		cost of	peanuts
