    x=7

    y=13

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let kenyan fresh roast=x

    And Sumatran coffee=y

    x pound + y pound=20 pounds

    x=20-y

    Cost

    x cost $11

    y cost $10

    11x+10y=10.35*20

    Substitute x=20-y into the equation

    We have,

    11 (20-y) + 10y=207

    220-11y+10y=207

    -y=207-220

    -y=-13

    y=13

    Recall

    x=20-y

    Substitute y=13 into it

    x=20-13

    x=7
