Can someone me with this question. i'll post a picture of it. need asap has to be turned in today. will mark brainliest as soon as it let's me

{a}p + 0.2m = 3

   0.8m = 2

or 5p + m = 15

    2m = 5

{b} 2.5 lb peanuts and 2.5 lb mixture

Step-by-step explanation:

m1 → desired mixture with composition : 60% peanuts and 40% almonds and weight : 5 lb

⇒weight of peanuts in m1 = 60% × 5 = 3 lb

and weight of almonds in m1 is 2 lb

m2 → mixture with composition : 20% peanuts and 80% almonds and weight : m pounds

⇒weight of peanuts in m2 = 0.2m

and weight of almonds in m2 = 0.8m

p → weight (in pounds) of peanuts added to m2 to make m1

{a}

add p pounds of peanuts to m2 to make m1

equating weights of peanuts and almonds:

p + 0.2m = 3

0.8m = 2

{b}

equation gives m = ⇒ m = 2.5 lb

Using this in the equation:

p + 0.5 = 3 ⇒ p = 2.5 lb

answer:

c 60% on edg
