Answer:
3x = 56 - (4x + 8)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Cost of peanut = x
Cost of Cashew = x + 2
Total Cost = Cost of Cashew + Cost of peanut
56 = (x+2) * 4 + x * 3
Cost of peanut: 3x = 56 - (4x + 8)
Total Cost = Cost of Cashew + Cost of peanut
56 = (x+2) * 4 + x * 3
56 = (4x + 8) + 3x
56 = 4x + 8 + 3x
56 = 7x + 8
56 - 8 = 7x
48 = 7x
x = 48/7
x = 6.86
