The amount of cashew mixed is 5 pounds

<h3>Word problem on total cost</h3>

Cost of 1 pound of cashew = $14

Cost of 1 pound of peanut = $6.50

Total cost of 1 pound of the mixed nuts = $10.25

Cost of 5 pounds of peanuts = 5 x $6.50

Cost of 5 pounds of peanuts = $32.50

Let the amount of cashew be x

Total cost of x cashew = 14x

Total amount of the mixed nuts = x + 5

Total cost of the mixed nuts = 10.25(x+5)

Total cost of the mixed nuts = 10.25x + 51.25

14x + 32.50 = 10.25x + 51.25

14x - 10.25x = 51.25 - 32.50

3.75x = 18.75

x = 18.75/3.75

x = 5

Therefore, the amount of cashew mixed is 5 pounds

<em>To</em><em> </em><em>simplify</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em>

$14 + 16 \div {2}^{3} - (12 + {3}^{2} ) \div 7 + 2 \times ( - 5)$

<h3><u>Solution</u><u>:</u></h3>

<em>According</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>PEMDAS</em><em> </em><em>rule</em><em>,</em>

<em>[</em><em>First</em><em> </em><em>parenthesis</em><em>]</em>

$= 14 + 16 \div {2}^{3} - (12 + 9 ) \div 7 + 2 \times ( - 5)$

$= 14 + 16 \div {2}^{3} - 21 \div 7 + 2 \times ( - 5)$

<em>[</em><em>Then</em><em> </em><em>exponents</em><em>]</em>

$= 14 + 16 \div 8 - 21 \div 7 + 2 \times ( - 5)$

<em>[</em><em>Then</em><em> </em><em>multiplication</em><em>]</em>

= 14 + 16 ÷ 8 - 21 ÷ 7 - 10

<em>[</em><em>Then</em><em> </em><em>division</em><em>]</em>

= 14 + 2 - 3 - 10

<em>[</em><em>Then</em><em> </em><em>addition</em><em>]</em>

= 16 - 13

<em>[</em><em>Then</em><em> </em><em>subtraction</em><em>]</em>

= <em><u>3</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>(</u></em><em><u>Ans</u></em><em><u>)</u></em>

The function f(x) = x2 + 6x + 3 is transformed such that g(x) = f(x − 2). Find the vertex of g(x).

garri49 [273]

Answer:

(-1,-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x)=x^2+6x+3$

$g(x)=f(x-2)$

$g(x)=(x-2)^2+6(x-2)+3$ (Replaced x in f with (x-2))

$g(x)=x^2-4x+4+6x-12+3$ (Used $(x+b)^2=x^2+2bx+b^2$ and distributive property)

$g(x)=x^2-4x+6x+4-12+3$ (Gathered like terms)

$g(x)=x^2+2x-5$ (Simplified)

The vertex of a parabola occurs at $(\frac{-b}{2a},g(\frac{-b}{2a})$ .

Let's find $\frac{-b}{2a}$ first.

$\frac{-2}{2(1)}=-1$

Now we can obtain $g(\frac{-b}{2a})$ which is $g(-1)$ in this case:

$g(x)=x^2+2x-5$

$g(-1)=(-1)^2+2(-1)-5$

$g(-1)=1-2-5$

$g(-1)=-1-5$

$g(-1)=-6$ .

The vertex is (-1,-6).

Please help, and plz don't be saying this is the right answer if u dont know for sure.

zepelin [54]

Answer:

135 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

(8x-7)+(12x+57)=180

combine like terms

20x+50 = 180

subtract 50 on both sides

20x = 130

divide by 20

x = 130/20

x = 13/2

x = 6.5

cpq = 12x+57

cpq = 78 + 57

cpq = 135
