a store is having a sale on almonds and jelly beans. for 8 pounds of almonds and 3 pounds of jelly beans, the total cost is $23. for 2 pounds of almonds and
5 pounds of jelly beans, the total cost is $ 10. find the cost for each pound of almonds and each pound of jelly beans.

each pound of almounds cost $2.50 and jelly beans cost $1 a pound

Step-by-step explanation:

1.    8x+3y=23

2.   2x+5y=10

2x+5y=10

-2x        -2x

5y=-2x+10

divide both sides by 5

y= -.4x + 2    then plug this the new y value into the first equation

8x+3(-.4x+2)=23

8x -1.2x+6=23

6.8x+6=23

     -6         -6

6.8x=17

divide both sides by 6.8

x=2.5

now plug x in for equation 1 or 2 i choose 2

2(2.5)+5y=10

5+5y=10

-5       -5

5y=5

y=1

x=2.5 y=1

y = 3x+4

step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope

slope = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (-8-4)/ (-4-0)

    = -12/-4

  = 3

using the slope intercept form of a line

y= mx+b

we know the slope is 3

we know the y intercept is 4 ( the point where it crosses the y axis or x=0)

y = 3x+4

most likely linear (proportionate)
