Verify your answer using MATLAB. Write the MATLAB syntax and MATLAB output on the space
provided (8 points each )

1. A mix of 1 lb almonds and 1.5 lbs cashews sells for 150.00 Php. A mix of 2 lbs almonds and 1 lb cashews
sells for 170.00 Php. How much does each nut cost per pound?
Set-Up of the System of Linear MATLAB Syntax MATLAB Output
Equation
1x+1.5y= 150

2x+y= 170

X+ 1.5y= 150

2x+y=170

X=52.50
 Y=65

Final Answer
