im just asking for an answer

anonymous · Answer

40 kg = x*nuta + y*nutb , right ?

anonymous · Answer

right

anonymous · Answer

ok also
x*nuta + y*nutb = $5.25 / (x+y)

I divide by x+y because the value that we get from the LHS
is a value for the total 30kg, so to get per 1 kg we need to divide by 30
