Answer 3

lets make some variables...
w = walnuts
m = macademia

so lets make an equation based on those variable and your given information...

Answer 4

$6w+$2m=$20 ?

Answer 5

good..

Answer 6

Now what do I do?

Answer 7

without more information...now must use logic

how many w and m can we get to total 20 based on that equation?

Answer 8

But dont you have to show work and do it solving the equation?

Answer 9

for instance, if w =3 than she is able to have 1 m
6(3) + 2(1) = 20

you try one

Answer 10

6(2)+2(4)=20

Answer 11

did they provide more information, based on what you typed...can't create a 2nd equation

Answer 12

Answer 13

Just what I typed is all they gave me.

Answer 14
