Answer:

18 pounds of peanuts

32 pounds of cashews

Step-by-step explanation:

peanuts = 2$ per pound

cashews = 4$ per pound

50 pound mix = $164

so we can represent it as

2p + 4c = 164

p + c = 50

solve:

p = 50 -c

2(50 - c) + 4c = 164

100 - 2c + 4c = 164

2c = 64

c = 32

p = 50 - 32

p = 18
