Question

Randall wants to mix 41 lb of nuts worth ​$2 per lb with some nuts worth ​$8 per lb to make a mixture worth ​$7 per lb. How many pounds of ​$8 nuts must he​ use?

Pounds of nuts-cost per pound-total cost

41-$2-?
x-$8-?
?-$7-?

There is a chart and I have to fill in the question marks. x= 205/6 0r 34.16667
2*41 + 8x = 7(41+x)

it's going to take a lot of $8 nuts to bring the price up to $7/lb from $2/lb.
