Algebra-2

To create a system of equations based on Jennifer's purchases, let's define the variables:

1.Let ( a ) represent the price per pound of almonds.

2.Let ( w ) represent the price per pound of walnuts.

3.Let ( p ) represent the price per pound of pecans.

 

Now, we can formulate equations based on her purchases:

Jennifer buys 1 lb of almonds and 3 lbs of walnuts for $9.00:

1a + 3w = 9 (Equation 1)

 

She then buys 2 lbs of almonds and 1 lb of pecans for $8.00:
