Suppose you work for a large coffee distributor that has a secret coffee blend it sells to local stores. You mix the House blend

with the Organic Free Trade blend, but always in the same proportion. Yesterday, you mixed 140 pounds of the House blend with 168 pounds of the Organic Free Trade blend. Today, there is 130 pounds of the House coffee left in stock. How many pounds of the Organic Free Trade coffee should you mix with it to get your secret blend?

The ratio House blend/Organic Free Trade blend is the same and must remain the same.

So, the proportion is:

\frac{140}{168}=\frac{130}{x}

Where x is the unknown amount of the Organic Free Trade blend.

So, from the proportion, we have:

\begin{gathered} 140\cdot x=168\cdot130 \\ 140x=21840 \\ \frac{140x}{140}=\frac{21840}{140} \\ x=156 \end{gathered}

Answer: 156 pounds of Organic Free Trade blend

Kelsey graphed the equation y = 3x + 1 as shown below.
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

D. Kelsey graphed the slope as the y-intercept and the y-intercept as the slope.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to graph was : y= 3x + 1 where the slope is 3 and the y-intercept is 1

However, Kelsey graph line passes through points (-3, 0)and (0, 3).From these points the equation of the line is;

m=Δy/Δx  where

m=the slope of the graph

Δy= 3-0 =3

Δx= 0--3 =3

m=3/3 = 1

The equation of the line should be;

m=Δy/Δx

1=y-3/x-0

1x= y-3

3+1x= y

y= 1x + 3 ----------where the slope is 1 and y-intercept is 3

So you can see here that in the original equation,<em> the slope m is 3 and y-intercept is 1 as shown in the first attached graph.</em>

While in the Kelsey's graph, <em>the slope is 1 and the y-intercept is 3 as in the second attached graph. </em>

<em>Thus, the correct answer is D : Kelsey graphed </em><u><em>the slope,3</em></u><em> as the </em><em>y-intercept </em><em>and the</em><u><em> y-intercept,1,</em></u><em> as the slope. </em>

Answer choice A is incorrect because Kelsey didnot graph the y-intercept, 1 on the x-axis but graphed point (-3,0) on the x-axis.

Answer choice B is incorrect because on Kelsey's equation the y-intercept is 3 and not -3. i.e. y=1x + 3

Answer choice C is incorrect because Kelsey graphed the slope as up 1 right 1 which is okay per the equation , y=1x+3.However, this incorrect because the correct graph has a slope of 3.

(y x 1) + 2 and y + 2, is it equivalent or non equivalent?
enot [183]

Given:

The two expressions are

(y\times 1)+2

y+2

To find:

Whether the given expression are equivalent or non-equivalent.

Solution:

If two expressions are looking different but they are equal after simplification, then they are called equivalent expressions.

The first expression is

(y\times 1)+2=y+2

The first expression is equal to the second expression after the simplification.

Therefore, the given expressions are equivalent.
