\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&amount&price&priced\ amount\\
&-----&-----&--------\\
\textit{9 bucks/lb}&x&9&9x\\
\textit{3 bucks/lb}&y&3&3y\\
-----&-----&-----&-------\\
mixture&240&5&1200
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
x+y=240\implies \boxed{y}=240-x\\
9x+3y=1200\\
----------\\
9x+3\left( \boxed{240-x} \right)=1200
\end{cases}

solve for "x".

what about "y"? well, y = 240 - x

Does somebody knows how to do this one? Please

Answer:

∠W = 73°

∠Y = 26°

∠X = 81°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠W + ∠X + ∠Y = 180°

∠W = 3x - 5

∠X = 3x - 5 + 8

∠Y = x

3x - 5 + 3x - 5 + 8 + x = 180

7x = 182

x = 182 / 7 = 26

Line C and D are perpendicular. If the slope of a line c is -4, what is the slope of line D?
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is the steepness of a line.

The slope of a perpendicular line is always the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line it is perpendicular with.

Since line C has a slope of -4, the negative reciprocal of that is 1/4.

Reciprocals are two numbers that multiply together to get 1.

For example, -1/4*-4/1=1

Therefore the negative recipricol is 1/4
