Question 1103887
x pound peanuts at price L
y pounds of cashews at price H
M pounds of mixture, peanuts and cashews
T the price per pound for the mixture


M=10
T=2.61
L=1.8
H=4.5


{{{system(x+y=M,(Lx+Hy)/M=T)}}}


{{{system(x+y=M,Lx+Hy=MT)}}}


The system is two linear equations in the unknowns x and y.

Solve for x and y.
