The answer is most likely (c).
Answer:
-27.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's assign a variable x to the number of multiples for each pound of dry mix and water. With that being the said, the question for finding the total pounds would be:
Total pounds = x*Pounds of dry mix + x*Pounds of water
Total pounds = 60x + 8x = 68x = 14 + 1/6 = 85/6
x = 85/6 / 68
x = 5/24
Thus, the pounds of dry mix is 60*5/24 = 25/2 lbs, while the pounds of water is 8*5/24 = 5/3 pounds.

Answer:
(x, y) = (8, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The relevant equations are ...
3x -y = 22
x +2y = 12
__
We can eliminate y by adding twice the first equation to the second.
2(3x -y) +(x +2y) = 2(22) +(12)
7x = 56
x = 8
Substituting into the first equation gives ...
3(8) -y = 22
y = 24 -22 = 2
The first number is 8; the second number is 2.
