Answer:  \frac{306}{65} pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x pounds of $ 0.66 per lb candies mixed with y pounds of $ 1.31 per lb candies to obtain 9 lb of $ 0.97 per lb candies,

Hence, we can write,

x + y = 9 ------- (1)

And, 0.66 of x + 1.31 of y = 0.97 of (x + y)

⇒ 66 x + 131 y = 97 (x+y)

⇒ 66 x +131 y - 97 x - 97 y = 0

⇒ -31 x + 34 y = 0  ------(2)

By solving equation (1) and (2)

We get,

x=\frac{306}{65} and y=\frac{279}{65}

Hence, the quantity of 0.66 per lb candies = \frac{306}{65}  pounds

icang [17]

ANSWER:

2.33 foot

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

We can calculate the distance from the staircase to the wall, by means of the trigonometric cosine ratio, which is the following:

\begin{gathered} \cos \theta=\frac{\text{ adjacent}}{\text{ hypotenuse}} \\ \theta=75\text{\degree} \\ \text{ hypotenuse = 9 foot} \\ \text{adjacent = x} \end{gathered}

Replacing and solving for x:

\begin{gathered} \cos 75=\frac{x}{9} \\ x=9\cdot\cos 75 \\ x=2.33 \end{gathered}

The distance would be 2.33 foot

Let p = x2 + 6.<br> Which equation is equivalent to (22 + 6)2 – 21 = 4x2 + 24 in terms of p?
Alona [7]

Answer:

\frac{35}{4} =p

Step-by-step explanation:

p=x^{2} +6,

(22+6)2-21=4x^{2} +24

44+12-21=4x^{2} +24

35=4x^{2} +24,

If you factor out the equation, you get that 35=4p(if you factor it out)

Therefore,\frac{35}{4} =p
