\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

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

A = 74295.

Step-by-step explanation:

74*9*

- the last number must be a 0 or a 5.

So we try 74090/45 -  not an integer

74095/45 = No

74190/45 No

74195/45  No

74295 / 45 = 1651 So that's it,

Find the degree measure of each angle in the triangle. Giving brainly
Lena [83]

Answer:

∠ I = 39°, ∠ J = 51°, ∠ K = 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

Sum the3 angles and equate to 180

3x + 21 + 5x + 21 + 90 = 180, that is

8x + 132 = 180 ( subtract 132 from both sides )

8x = 48 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 6

Then

∠ I = 3x + 21 = 3(6) + 21 = 18 + 21 = 39°

∠ J = 5x + 21 = 5(6) + 21 = 30 + 21 = 51°

∠ K = 90°

What is x. Please show *all* the steps.
Zolol [24]

The equation 5/2 - x + x - 5/x + 2 + 3x + 8/x^2 - 4 = 0 is a quadratic equation

The value of x is 8 or 1

<h3>How to determine the value of x?</h3>

The equation is given as:

5/2 - x + x - 5/x + 2 + 3x + 8/x^2 - 4 = 0

Rewrite as:

-5/x - 2 + x - 5/x + 2 + 3x + 8/x^2 - 4 = 0

Take the  LCM

[-5(x + 2) + (x -5)(x- 2)]\[x^2 - 4 + [3x + 8]/[x^2 - 4] = 0

Expand

[-5x - 10 + x^2 - 7x + 10]/[x^2 - 4] + [3x + 8]/[x^2 - 4] = 0

Evaluate the like terms

[x^2 - 12x]/[x^2 - 4] + [3x + 8]/[x^2 - 4 = 0

Multiply through by x^2 - 4

x^2 - 12x+ 3x + 8 = 0

Evaluate the like terms

x^2 -9x + 8 = 0

Expand

x^2 -x - 8x + 8 = 0

Factorize

x(x -1) - 8(x - 1) = 0

Factor out x - 1

(x -8)(x - 1) = 0

Solve for x

x = 8 or x = 1

Hence, the value of x is 8 or 1
