Helga is ordering five pounds of mixed nuts for a graduation party. The party budget allows $18 for the nuts. If peanuts are $2.00 per pound, and almonds are on a sale for $6.00 per pound, how many pounds of peanuts should helga buy?

6 pounds of peanuts 1 pound of almonds

Step-by-step explanation:

6 pounds of peanuts at $2 a pound is $12 and that leaves $6 for a pound of almonds totaling out to $18

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
