$\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&\stackrel{lbs}{amount}&\stackrel{per~lb}{price}&\stackrel{amount}{price}\\
&------&------&------\\
\textit{\$4/lb coffee}&x&4&4x\\
\textit{\$7/lb coffee}&20&7&140\\
------&------&------&------\\
mixture&y&5&5y
\end{array}$

so, we know the mixture is the sum of both types of coffee, thus x + 20 = y, and 4x + 140 = 5y.

$\bf \begin{cases}
x+20=\boxed{y}\\
4x+140=5y\\
----------\\
4x+140=5\left( \boxed{x+20} \right)
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
4x+140=5x+100\implies 140-100=5x-4x\implies 40=x$

After college graduation, Mario received employment offers from two companies. The first company offered a yearly salary of $31,

Alexandra [31]

The first thing we must do for this case is to define a variable:
x: number of years
y: total salary
We have then:
For first company:
y = 1500x + 31000
For second company:
y = 2000x + 28500
Equaling both equations we have:
1500x + 31000 = 2000x + 28500
Clearing x:
2000x - 1500x = 31000 - 28500
500x = 2500
x = 2500/500
x = 5
Answer:
It will take for the salaries to be the same about:
x = 5 years
