Quantity (in lbs.) value (per lb.) total butterscotch x 2.15 2.15x peppermint y 2.35 2.35y mixture 10 2.20 22 using the table, match the items in the following lists. 1. pounds of butterscotch candy $2.20 2. pounds of peppermint candy y 3. price per pound of peppermints $22.00 4. price per pound of butterscotch $2.15 5. price per pound of mixture x 6. cost for ten pounds of mixture $2.35

It's a reading comprehension problem. All the answers are given in the table.

Solution to the equations

If you actually want to find the values of x and y, you can write equations for the quantity of candy and the cost of the mix:

You can subtract 2.15 times the first equation from the second to get

  (2.15x +2.35y) -2.15(x +y) = (22.00) -2.15(10)

  020y = 0.50 . . . . . simplify

  y = 0.50/0.20 = 2.5 . . . pounds of peppermint

  x = 10 - 2.5 = 7.5 . . . . from the first equation, pounds of butterscotch

days of the week

step-by-step explanation:

javier earned more money then kyle, so that won't always be a constant term, but the days of the week do not change so that term is always constant.
