Answer:

$14 per lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • Brand Y = $18 / lb
  • Special Blend = $17 / lb

Let x be the price per lb of brand X coffee

3 lbs of brand X coffee + 9 lb of brand Y coffee = 12 lbs of special blend

⇒ 3x + 9(18) = 12(17)

⇒ 3x + 162 = 204

⇒ 3x = 42

⇒ x = 14

Therefore, brand X costs $14 per lb

Answer:

$14/lb

Explanation:

\square Price of brand X be "q"

\square Price of brand Y be "t"

  • 3 lb of Brand X + 9 lb of Brand Y = 12 lb of special coffee blend
  • 3(q) + 9(18) = 12(17)
  • 3(q) = 12(17) - 9(18)
  • 3(q) = 204 - 162
  • 3(q) = 42
  • 3(q)/3 = 42/3
  • q = 14
<h3 /><h3>Per lb of Brand X costs $14</h3>

Look at this triangle work out length AB
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

2√137

Step-by-step explanation:

To find AB, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem (a² + b² = c²). In this case, a = 22, b = 8 and we're solving for c, therefore:

22² + 8² = c²

484 + 64 = c²

548 = c²

c = ± √548 = ± 2√137

c = -2√137 is an extraneous solution because the length of a side of a triangle cannot be negative, therefore, the answer is 2√137.
