Please Answer !! A store is having a sale on almonds and jelly beans. For 5 pounds of almonds and 3 pounds of jelly beans, the total cost is $23. For 2 pounds of almonds and 6 pounds of jelly beans, the total cost is $20. Find the cost for each pound of almonds and each pound of jelly beans.

Let x = number of pounds of jelly beans

      y = number of pounds of almonds.

Then, 4x + 8y = 33

          2x + 3y = 13

Multiply the second equation by -2 to get the system:

4x + 8y = 33

-4x - 6y = -26

Adding the equations, we get 2y = 7.  So, y = 3.5

Substitute for y in either of the given equations:  2x + 3(3.5) = 13

                                                                                     2x + 10.5 = 13

                                                                                                 2x = 2.5

                                                                                                   x = 1.25

step-by-step explanation:

a function could be identified in 3 ways either on a chart,graph, or ordered pairs. first a function is that each point has its own. the rule is that there can be many x's to one y but there can not be 2 x's at different y's. so on a graph when you put a straight line through the y's there should be one dot only to be a function.
