Please Help: A shop will sell a mixture of almonds and cashews. Almonds cost $2.50 per pound and cashews cost $3.25 per pound. The shop will make 80 pounds of the mixture and sell it for $2.95 per pound. How many pounds of almonds should they use?

x = -4

step-by-step explanation:

- 20 - 4(x + 3) = 4x

=> -20 - 4x - 12 = 4x

=> - 32 -4x = 4x

=> -32 = 4x + 4x

=> - 32 = 8x

=> -32/8 = x

=> -4 = x

the functions have the same rate of change i think. i narrowed it down to this answer and "the rate of change of tour 1 is greater" but i got it wrong using that answer so im assuming its the answer above. (this is a question i also answered from the iready site if anyone needs a reference)

y=-2x+1500

step-by-step explanation:
