115.2 pounds of type A coffee were used.

<h3>What is the solution of the equation?</h3>

A mathematical statement that has an "equal to" symbol between two expressions with equal values is called an equation.

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side. It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides. We have LHS = RHS (left hand side = right hand side) in every mathematical equation. To determine the value of an unknown variable that represents an unknown quantity, equations can be solved.

Let the number of pounds of type A coffee be x and the number of pounds of Type B coffee be y.

According to the question, the equations are,

5.50x + 4.40y = 762.30

x = 4y

So, the solution of the equation is obtained as follows:

5.50(4y) + 4.40y = 762.30

26.40y = 762.30

y = 762.30/26.40

y = 28.8 pounds

x = 4*28.8 = 115.2 pounds

Find all solutions to the equation. <br> cos^2 x +2cosx+1=0
Schach [20]

x= \pi

Step-by-step explanation:

\cos^2x+\cos x+1=0

Let u= \cos x

Then u^2+2u+1=(u+1)^2=0

or

\cos x = -1

This gives us x= \pi or all integer multiples of \pi (n \pi)
