Coffee A is 12.241 pounds, Coffee B is 18.269 pounds and Coffee C is 24.482 pounds.

<h3>What is Algebra?</h3>

A branch of mathematics known as algebra deals with symbols and the mathematical operations performed on them.

Variables are the name given to these symbols because they lack set values.

In order to determine the values, these symbols are also subjected to various addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division arithmetic operations.

Given:

Let a pounds of coffee A needed

Let b pounds of coffee B needed

Let c pounds of coffee C needed

c= 2a.................(1)

a+ b+c= 55..........(2)

and, 14.99 a+ 13.99 b + 10.39 c /55 = 12.61

1499a + 1399 b + 1039 c = 69,355...............(3)

Subtract (2) from (3), we get

  1499 a+ 1399 b + 1039 c= 69355

-  1039 a - 1039 b - 1039 c = 57145

_____________________________

  460 a + 360 b = 12210

 46a+ 36 b = 1221

b= 1221/ 36 - 46 a/ 36

b= 407 / 12 - 23 a / 18

Put b in Equation (2)

a + 407 / 12 - 23 a / 18 + 2a= 55

-5a / 18 + 2a + 407/ 12 = 55

31a/ 18 = 253/ 12

a= 4554 / 372

a = 2277/ 186

a= 759/ 62

a= 12.241

and, c=2a = 24.482

b= 33.91 - 15.641

b= 18.269

Suppose a video store charges non-members $4 to rent a video. A membership costs $21 and then videos cost only $2.50 to rent. Ho
densk [106]

Answer:

You need to rent  14  videos, and you'll pay the same amount for both. Renting 15 will make the membership a better method of payment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Number of videos to be rented be x;

Given:

For non members;

Cost of renting 1 video = $4

Cost for renting x videos = 4x

For Members;

Membership cost = $21

Cost of renting 1 video =  $2.50

Cost of renting x video =  2.5x

We can create an equation. Say the number of videos you rent is given by x . We can write that, if we rent  x  videos without membership, we'll have to pay 4x . If we rent the same amount of videos with membership, we'll have to pay 21+2.5x.

Hence the equation can written as

4x=21+2.5x\\4x-2.5x=21\\1.5x=21\\x=\frac{21}{1.5}=14

Hence You need to rent  14  videos, and you'll pay the same amount for both. Renting 15 will make the membership a better method of payment.

(a) Complete the table of values for y = 1/2x + 1<br><br> Please help ❤️
umka21 [38]

Answer:

y =1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in the values of x into the equation for y.

For example when x is 0, plug in 0 into the equation

0.5x + 1 = y

0.5(0) + 1 = 1

So, y = 1

To find the other values of y, plug in the designated value of x into the equation.

Louisa biked 50 4/5 miles in 4 hours how many miles did she bike per hour
oksian1 [2.3K]
This is just a simple division problem. To make your life easier, make them both into improper fractions, 254/5 and 4/1. Use reciprocals to multiply. 254/5 * 1/4. Then you get 127/10, which simplifies to 12 7/10 as your answer.

I hope this helped and did not confuse you!
