A store is having a sale on jelly beans and almonds. For 5 pounds of jelly beans and 3 pounds of almonds, the total cost is $13. For 2 pounds of jelly beans and 6 pounds of almonds, the total cost is $16. Find the cost for each pound of jelly beans and each pound of almonds.

The cost for each pound of jelly beans and each pound of almonds is $1.25 and $2.25  respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost for each pound of jelly beans and each pound of almonds be x and y respectively.

ATQ,

For 5 pounds of jelly beans and 3 pounds of almonds, the total cost is $13.

5x+3y = 13 ...(1)

For 2 pounds of jelly beans and 6 pounds of almonds, the total cost is $16.

2x+6y = 16

x + 3y = 8 (2)

Subtract equation (2) from (1)

5x+3y-(x + 3y)= 13-8

4x = 5

x = 5/4

x = $1.25

Put the value of x in equation (2) as follows :

1.25 + 3y = 8

3y = 8-1.25

y =$2.25

Hence, the cost for each pound of jelly beans and each pound of almonds is $1.25 and $2.25  respectively.

a line is an defined derm because it

a)contains an infinite number of points b) can be used to create other geometric shapes c)describes something that does not have width or depth d) is a term that does not have a formal definition. a line is an undefined term because it: contains an infinite number of points.

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
