Answer:

Mixture has 5 ounces of granola

And 3 ounces of peanuts.

Step-by-step explanation:

x represent the number of ounces of granola in the mix and

y represent the number of ounces of peanuts in the mix.

System of equation becomes:

[tex]x+y\geq 16[/tex]

[tex]3x+2y\leq 8[/tex]

(5,3) means (x,y) coordinate.

And since, x represent the number of ounces of granola

y represent the number of ounces of peanuts

Therefore, mixture has 5 ounces of granola

And 3 ounces of peanuts.
