delaney would like to make a 5lb nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds.

she has several pounds of peanuts and several pounds of a mixture that is 20% peanuts and 80% almonds.

let 'p' represent the number of pounds of peanuts needed to make the new mixture, and  

let 'm' represent the number of pounds of the 80% almond-20% peanut mixture.

:

p + m = 5

therefore

m = (5-p)

write an equation based on the percent of peanuts

1p + .2m = .6(5)

replace m with (5-p)

p + .2(5-p) = .6(5)

p + 1 - .2p = 3

p - .2p = 3 - 1

.8p = 2

p = 2/.8

p = 2.5 lbs of peanuts required

then

5 - 2.5 = 2.5 lbs of the peanut/almond mixture required

:

a) what is the system that models this situation?

p + m = 5

1p + .2m = .6(5)

option a is correct.

only one solution to the system of equations

step-by-step explanation:

if the graph of the equations do not intersects(i.,e if they are parallel) then, there are no solutions that are true for both the equations.

if the graph of the equations intersects, then there is one solution and that is true for both the equations.

since, in the given figure:

the two lines intersect each other

⇒there is only one solution which satisfy both the lines of an equations.

therefore, there is only one solution to the system of equation
