Don wants to make 10 pounds of a mix of toffee-coated peanuts and toffee-coated almonds for a gathering of friends coming to his house. he can buy toffee-coated peanuts for $1.69 per pound and toffee-coated almonds for $2.59 per pound. if he buys a pounds of toffee-coated almonds and completes the 10 pounds with the toffee-coated peanuts, how can you express the number of pounds of
totree-coated peanuts? what expression would represent the total cost of the nuts? (you should have two expressions for this question.)

Okay so n is going to represent our first number. since the second number of five times greater than n, the second number will be represented as 5n. for us to figure out the two  numbers we need to have  the value of n first. this is going to be done by adding the two numbers together, n and 5n. it can be simplified as 6n, which the problem states is equal to 72. divide 72 by 6n and you can solve for n.  n+5n=726n=72n=(72/6)n=12  now that we know the value of n, we have to multiply 5 times 12 which equals 60. so our two numbers/integers are 12 and 60
