Austin is creating a new trail mix by 

combining two of his best­selling blends.  A  
pineapple­coconut­macadamia (pcm) mix 
that sells for $18/kg and a banana­papayapeanut (bpp) mix that sells for $10/kg. Write 
the equations and find the point of 
intersection. He is making 80kg of the new mix and will sell it for $12.50/kg.

a) write 2 equations of the linear relations. I've already gotten the 2 equations. let x represent pcm and y represent bpp. so x+y= 80. the second equation is 18y+10y = 1000 ( multiplying $12.50x80=1000 )

b) how much blend will austin use? i need help on this part..

sorry ignore " Write
the equations and find the point of
intersection." in the problem.
