Let the number of pages read on day 1 be = x

Then on day 2 he read twice the pages from day one, it is = 2x

On 3rd day he read 6 pages less than 1st day, it is = x-6

Total pages are = 458

The equation becomes: x+2x+x-6=458

4x-6=458

4x=464

x=116

So on the third day, Aiden read x-6=116-6=110 pages.

Estimate the value of this expression by rounding each number to the nearest unit
Alina [70]
So rounding to the nearest unit means replacing the number and taking the closest integer it is to. For example 0.96 is 1, and 5.45 is 5. So doing this in this prob. is 1 × 10 × 5, or 50.

The vendor of a coffee cart mixes coffee beans that cost $9 per pound with coffee beans that cost $5 per pound. How many pounds
lidiya [134]

Answer:

56.25 pound of the coffee that costs $5 per pound is needed

18.75 pound of the coffee that costs $9 per pound is needed

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pounds be x and y respectively

The total pounds is 75;

So;

x + y. = 75 •••••••(i)

Total cost of first type

9 * x = $9x

Total cost of second type;

5 * y= $5y

75 pound at $6 per pound; total cost of this is;

6 * 75 = $450

Thus;

9x + 5y = 450 ••••••••(ii)

From i, x = 75-y

Put this into ii

9(75-y) + 5y = 450

675 -9y + 5y = 450

4y = 675-450

4y = 225

y = 225/4

y = 56.25

x = 75 - y from i

x = 75-56.25

x = $18.75
