PLS HELP The owner of a grocery store wants to mix two kinds of candy together to make 15 lb that he can sell for $5.00 per lb. He wants to use chocolate candies that he sells for $7.00 per lb and sugar candies that he sells for $2.00 per lb. How many pounds of each should the owner use?
_ pounds of chocolate candies

9 pounds of chocolate candies

6 pounds of sugar candies

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 15

y = 15 - x

(7x + 2y) / 15 = 5

7x + 2y = 15 * 5 = 75

7x + 2 * (15 - x) = 75

7x + 30 - 2x = 75

5x = 45

x = 9

15 - 9 = 6

y = 6

9 pounds of chocolate candies and 6 pounds of sugar candies
