Let x represent the number of pounds of $10.75/lb coffee used in the mix.
.. 10.75x +3.25(100 -x) = 5.65*100 . . . . . . total cost of coffee blend
.. x(10.75 -3.25) = 100*(5.65 -3.25) . . . . . .separate x-terms from non-x terms
.. x = 240/7.5 = 32

32 pounds of $10.75/lb coffee should be used
68 pounds of $3.25/lb coffee should be used

You are choosing between two different cell phone plans. The first plan charges a rate of
Zolol [24]

Answer:

at least 450 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Find an expression for the cost of each plan as a function of the number of minutes. Set the expressions equal to each other, and solve for the number of minutes.

Let x = number of minutes.

First plan:

cost (in dollars) = 0.21x

Second plan:

cost (in dollars) = 0.11x + 44.95

Set the expressions equal:

0.21x = 0.11x + 44.95

Subtract 0.11x from both sides.

0.1x = 44.95

Divide both sides by 0.1

x = 44.95/0.1

x = 449.5

Since you cannot have a fraction of a minute, the answer is 450 minutes.

baherus [9]

The first thing that he has to do is take that "minus" sign through the parentheses containing the second polynomial.
