Acoffee merchants want to make 6 pounds of a blend of coffee costing five dollars per pound. the blend is made using a six dollar per pound grade coffee and a three dollar per pound grade of coffee. how many pounds of each of these grades should be used?

We should use 4 pounds of $6 coffee and 2 pounds of $3 coffee for the blend.

Step-by-step explanation:

The blend should,

Cost = $5

Weigh = 6 pounds.

Lets take the weight of $6 coffee as pounds

And lets take the weight of $3 coffee as pounds.

Lets write an equation for the weight of the blend,

<---------- 1st equation.

=

= <---------- 2nd equation

We can substitute to x in 1st equation from 2nd equation,

⇒

=

=

=

We can substitute y value to 2nd equation to find x,

⇒

==

Therefore, we should use 4 pounds of $6 coffee and 2 pounds of $3 coffee for the blend.

yes the total will be same because in both of them the expression.is rearranged but their sign remains the same hence it hss just been shuffled

you have to wait a while to reward brainliest if only one person answers. if 2 people answer there should be a "mark brainliest" on their question.
