Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, you can write the following equations:

x+y=300 (1)

5x+8y=300*7

5x+8y=2100(2)

First, you can isolate x in (1):

x=300-y (3)

Now, you can replace (3) in (2):

5(300-y)+8y=2100

1500-5y+8y=2100

3y=2100-1500

y=600/3

y=200

Then, you can replace the value of y in (3) to find x:

x=300-200

x=100

According to this, the answer is that he should use 100 pounds of dried pineapple and 200 pounds of dried apricots.

Please help me with these 2 question.
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

are the limits. The - square root of 39 is smaller than - 6. So the integer to use here is - 6

sqrt (47) = 6.686. Here the square root is larger than the closest integer.

The integer to use is 6

- 6 + 6 = 0
