Solve each equation. 1. 25 - 3x = 40 2. } (x – 10) = -4

nordsb [41]

Step-by-step explanation:

For no 1

25 - 3x = 40 

- 3x = 40 - 25 

- 3x = 15 

 - x = 15 / 3

Therefore x = - 5 

Now for no. 2

1/3 ( x - 10) = - 4 

( x - 10 ) = - 12 

x = - 12 + 10

Therefore x = - 2 

Hope it will help :)

A grocer mixed walnuts worth $1.02 per pound with peanuts worth $0.99 per pound. If she made 69 pounds of a mixture worth $1 per

Nataly [62]

The cost of the mixture is $69 *$1 = $69. If all 69 pounds were peanuts, the cost would be 69*$0.99 = $68.31, which is $0.69 less. Each pound of walnuts used instead of peanuts adds $0.03 to the cost of the mixture, so there were $0.69/$0.03 = 23 pounds of walnuts.
_____ 
Let w represent the number of pounds of walnuts in the mixture. Then 69-w is the number of pounds of peanuts. The cost of the mixture will be 
1.02w + 0.99(69-w) = 1.00*69 dollars 
0.03w + 68.31 = 69.00 
w = (69.00 - 68.31)/0.03 = 0.69/0.03 = 23
