The weight of coffee worth $10 to be added to mixture to worth $6 a pound is 15 pounds

Let the weight of coffee worth $10 to be added to mixture be x pounds

The weight of coffee worth $4 to be added to mixture is 30 pounds

We want a mixture that worth $6 a pound

The weight of mixture of coffee worth $ 6 is the sum of $10 coffee and $4 coffee

= x + 30

From the above equation we can form a linear equation

X 10 + 30 ×4 = (x+ 30) 6

10x + 120= 6x +180

10x-6x= 180 -120

4x = 60

X= 15

Hence, the weight of coffee worth $10 to be added to mixture to worth $6 a pound is 15 pounds
