    Let A represent amount of Type A coffee pounds used.

    Let B represent amount of Type B coffee pounds used

    A + B = 156

    B = 156 - A

    A = 156 - B

    5.80A + 4.65B = 826.60

    580 (156 - B) + 4.65B - 826.60 = 0

    904.8 - 5.80B + 4.65B - 826.60 = 0

    904.8 - 1.15B - 826.60 = 0

    78.2 - 1.15B = 0

    78.2/1.15 = 1.15B/1.15

    68 = B

    B = 68 pounds of Type B coffee

    There's many more steps you can take to check and etc but am too lazy to put down sorry.
