Let:

x = Pounds of walnuts in the mix.

Each pound of walnuts costs $0.80. thus x pounds of walnuts cost 0.8x dollars.

Each pound of cashews costs $1.25 and the mix will contain 8 pounds of cashews, so the cost is 8*$1.25 = $10

The total cost of the mix is, therefore: 0.8x + 10 dollars.

We are also given the pound of mix costs $1.00 and we have a total of 8 + x pounds, so the total cost of the mix is 1*(8 + x) dollars.

Equating both costs:

0.8x + 10 = 1*(8 + x)

Operating:

0.8x + 10 = 8 + x

Subtracting x and 10:

0.8x - x = 8 - 10

Simplifying:

-0.2x = -2

Dividing by -0.2:

x = -2/(-0.2)

x = 10

Answer: 10 pounds

What is the slope of this line?

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

y= 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is 2

The y-intercept is zero because it intersects the origin so you do not need to right that.

Now just put it is slope-intercept form.

Hope you remember me because I just answered your other question 2 minutes ago! LOL :D

Can you please name me the brainiest in both of those answers. Thanks!

Two cards are drawn with replacement, one after the other, and the outcomes recorded. What is the probability that at least one

babymother [125]

Answer:

The probability is 0.231

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the probability that out of two cards drawn with replacement from a pack of cards , at least one of the two is a face card.

In a standard pack of cards, there are 52 cards.

Now let’s calculate the number of face cards we have.

There are 12 face cards in a pack of cards. There are 4 of each of Jack, Queen or King

The probability of drawing a face card is 12/52 = 3/13

Now, we want to calculate the probability of at least one of the cards drawn are face cards.

Mathematically, what we are needing to calculate is

Probability of drawing a single face card or probability of the two being a face card

Now let’s calculate.

The probability of the first card drawn being a face card is 3/13. The probability of the second card not being a face card will be 1-3/13 = 10/13

The joint probability under this first set of condition will be 3/13 * 10/13 = 30/169

Now, for the second condition, here we are considering that both cards drawn are face cards. What we have is 3/13 * 3/13 = 9/169

Now in probabilities, whenever we are having the statement or, we add the probabilities together

Thus, the probability here would be 30/169 + 9/169 = 39/169 = 3/13

In decimal this will be 0.231

What is the solution set of x2 + y2 = 26 and x − y = 6?

Viefleur [7K]

It works out that: y = 1 or 5 and therefore x = 5 or 1

PLease help me on this one? <3

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

A. (1, 0)

Reason:

When the first equation is graphed: y <u><</u> x + 1, the left side of the line is shaded and when the second equation is graphed: y <u><</u> x^2 -3x, the bottom is shaded.

The green section does not contain solutions. So D is automatically out.

The red section does not contain solutions as well. So C is automatically out.

For choice B, the point goes out of the shaded blue section, so that's out also.

As for choice A its in the blue shaded section, which makes that answer correct.

(when the two equations are within each other and combine a color, then whatever points is within the shaded part is the right answer)

Inequalities are used to express unequal expressions.

The inequalities from the word problems are:

$\mathbf{m - 3.5 \le -2}$ .
$\mathbf{0 \ge 2x + 1}$ .
$\mathbf{-\frac 12 \ge 2k - 4}$

The statements from the inequalities are:

-4 is not a solution to $\mathbf{x + 8 < -3}$
-6 is not a solution to $\mathbf{10 \le 3 - m}$
-1 is not a solution to $\mathbf{-3x \le -12.5}$

Graph b represents $\mathbf{x > -7}$

<h3>The word problems</h3>

<u>1. A number minus 3.5 is less than or equal to -2</u>

The statement can be broken down into the following expressions

$\mathbf{A\ number\ minus\ 3.5 \to m - 3.5}$

$\mathbf{less\ than\ or\ equal\ to\ -2 \to \le -2}$

So, when the expressions are brought together, we have:

$\mathbf{m - 3.5 \le -2}$

<u>2. Zero is greater than or equal to twice a number x plus 1</u>

The statement can be broken down into the following expressions

$\mathbf{Zero\ is\ greater\ than\ or\ equal\ to \to 0 \ge }$

$\mathbf{twice\ a\ number\ x\ plus\ 1\ \to 2x + 1}$

So, when the expressions are brought together, we have:

$\mathbf{0 \ge 2x + 1}$

<u />

<u>3. -1/2 is at least twice a number k minus 4</u>

The statement can be broken down into the following expressions

$\mathbf{-\frac 12\ is\ at\ least \to -\frac 12 \ge }$

$\mathbf{twice\ a\ number\ k\ minus\ 4\ \to 2k - 4}$

So, when the expressions are brought together, we have:

$\mathbf{-\frac12 \ge 2k - 4}$

None of the options is correct

<h3>The solutions</h3>

<u>4. Tell whether -4 is a solution to x + 8 < -3</u>

We have:

$\mathbf{x + 8$

Subtract 8 from both sides

$\mathbf{x + 8 - 8$

$\mathbf{x$

The above inequality means that:

<em>x is less than -11</em>

-4 is not a solution, because -4 is greater than -11

<u>5. Tell whether -6 is a solution to 10 <= 3 - m</u>

We have:

$\mathbf{10 \le 3 - m}$

Subtract 3 from both sides

$\mathbf{10 -3\le 3 - 3 - m}$

$\mathbf{7 \le - m}$

Multiply both sides by -1 (the inequality sign changes)

$\mathbf{-7 \ge m}$

Make m the subject

$\mathbf{m \le -7}$

The above inequality means that:

<em>m is less than -7</em>

-6 is not a solution, because -6 is greater than -7

<u>6. Tell whether -1 is a solution to -3x <= -12.5</u>

We have:

$\mathbf{-3x \le -12.5}$

Divide both sides by -3 (the inequality sign changes)

$\mathbf{x \ge 4\frac16}$

The above inequality means that:

<em>x is greater than or equal to </em> $\mathbf{4\frac16}$ <em />

-1 is not a solution, because -1 is less than $\mathbf{4\frac16}$ <em />

<h3>The graph</h3>

The inequality is given as: $\mathbf{x > -7}$

The less than sign (>) means that:

The graph would use an open circle
The arrow must point to the right

Only graph b satisfies this condition

Hence, the graph of $\mathbf{x > -7}$ is graph b
