A store is having a sale on almonds and jelly beans. For 5 pounds of almonds and 6 pounds of jelly beans, the total cost is $24. For 3 pounds of almonds and 2 pounds of jelly beans, the total cost is $10 . Find the cost for each pound of almonds and each pound of jelly beans.

x = $1.5, y = $2.75

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 6y = 24

3x + 2y = 10

Solve for y

2y = 10 - 3x

y = 5 - 3/2x

Plug y into first equation

5x + 6y = 24

5x + 30 - 9x = 24

-4x = -6

x = $1.5

y = $2.75

i would be happy to . most people on would also love to i'm sure. if you just want someone who has done algebra before and want a little more personal relationship than just begging strangers for , i can certainly be of service. i do have college myself so i might not be 24/7.
