    30 pounds of hard candy and 30 pouonds of soft candy

    Step-by-step explanation:

    $2 per pound added with $4 per pound would become $3 per pound

    x pounds plus 60 - x pounds will add up to 60 pounds

    (multiply the top with the bottom)

    2x + 4x = 3 (60)

    6x = 180

    x = 30

    60 - 30 = 30
