Question 1184986
v, how much oats $1.7 per pound
12-v, how much nuts $1.4 per pound


{{{highlight_green(1.7v+1.4(12-v)=1.6*12)}}}
Simplify and solve....


{{{1.7v+1.4*12-1.4v=1.6*12}}}

{{{(1.7-1.4)v=1.6*12-1.4*12}}}

{{{(1.7-1.4)v=12(1.6-1.4)}}}

{{{highlight_green(v=12((1.6-1.4)/(1.7-1.4)))}}}----------evaluate this and also find 12-v.
