apologiabiology
almons:walnuts:rasins=1:2:3


x=pounds of walnuts
y=pounds of almonds
z=pounds or rasins
2x=y
3x=z
subsitute


12x+9y+5z=15
12x+9(2x)+5(3x)=15
12x+18x+15x=15
45x=15
divide by 45
x=1/3
so
1/3 pound of walnuts
2x=y
2(1/3)=y=2/3
2/3 pounds of almonds
3x=z
3(1/3)=z
1=z
1 pound of rasins




1/3 pound walnuts
2/3 pound almonds
1 pound rasins
