Answer: 39 pounds of type A coffee were used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of type A coffee that were used in the blend.

Let y represent the number of pounds of type B coffee that were used in the blend.

Type A coffee costs Lena $5.70 per pound, and type B coffee costs $4.25 per pound. The total cost of the mixture is $885.30. It means that

5.7x + 4.25y = 885.3- - - - - - - - - -1

This month's blend used four times as many pounds of type B coffee as type A. It means that

y = 4x

Substituting y = 4x into equation 1, it becomes

5.7x + 4.25 × 4x = 885.3

5.7x + 17x = 885.3

22.7x = 885.3

x = 885.3/22.7

x = 39

y = 4x = 4 × 39

y = 156

A florist can make a grand arrangement in 18 minutes or a simple arrangement in 10 minutes. The florist makes at least twice as
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of simple arrangements and y be the number of grand arrangements.

1. The florist makes at least twice as many of the simple arrangements as the grand arrangements, so

x\ge 2y

2. A florist can make a grand arrangement in 18 minutes =\dfrac{3}{10} hour, then he can make y arrangements in \dfrac{3}{10}y hours.

A florist can make  a simple arrangement in 10 minutes =\dfrac{1}{6} hour, so he can make x arrangements in \dfrac{1}{6}x hours.

The florist can work only 40 hours per week, then

\dfrac{3}{10}y+\dfrac{1}{6}x\le 40

3. The profit on the simple arrangement is $10, then the profit on x simple arrangements is $10x.

The profit on the grand arrangement is $25, then the profit on y grand arrangements is $25y.

Total profit: $(10x+25y)

Plot first two inequalities and find the point where the profit is maximum. This point is point of intersection of lines x=2y and \dfrac{3}{10}y+\dfrac{1}{6}x=40

But this point has not integer coordinates. The nearest point with two integer coordinates is (126,63), then the maximum profit is

\$(10\cdot 126+25\cdot 63)=\$2,835

What is an equation of a circle with center (2,7) and radius 4?
goblinko [34]

Equation of a circle:

(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2


In this case:

<span>center (2,7) and radius 4 so h = 2, k = 7 and r = 4

</span>Equation:

(x - 2)^2 + (y - 7)^2 = 4^2

(x - 2)^2 + (y - 7)^2 = 16


Hope it helps.

Solve for x using the given diagram
blagie [28]

Answer:

<h2>x = 1</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Look a t the picture.

The triangles on the picture are similar.

Therefore the sides are in proportion:

\dfrac{8x}{10}=\dfrac{4}{5x}              <em>cross multiply</em>

(8x)(5x)=(4)(10)

40x^2=40           <em>divide both sides by 40</em>

x^2=1\to x=\sqrt1\\\\x=1
