To find: the pounds of cashews and the pounds of almonds that L’s purchased.

Answer to Problem 62STP
4 lbs of almonds and 3 lbs of cashews purchased.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
L’s bought several pounds of cashews and several pounds of almonds for a party. The cashews cost $8 per pounds, and the almonds cost $6 per pound. L’s bought a total 7 pounds and paid a total of $48.
Calculation:
The first equation represents the total number of pounds bought. Almost bought + Cashews bought = 7 pounds.
The second equation is the cost of the nuts. Each pound of cashews is 8 dollars, so you multiply
Multiply the first equation by 8, so that use the linear combination method. Multiplying it by 6 is another option. Also choose to use substitution here.
Subtract the bottom equation from the top
Plug
Hence, 4 lbs of almonds and 3 lbs of cashews purchased.
