Hello,
Assume x the smallest side.
y the third side
z the largest side
z=2x-4
y=10+x
x+y+z=86
==>x+(10+x)+(2x-4)=86
==>4x=86-10+4
==>x=20, y=30 and z=36

A store is having a sale on jelly beans and trail mix. For 3 pounds of jelly beans and 2 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is
Nata [24]

the cost for each of jelly beans and each pound of trail mix is $2.5 and $1.75

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given A store is having a sale on jelly beans and trail mix. For 3 pounds of jelly beans and 2 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is $11. For 5 pounds of jelly beans and 6 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is $23 . We have to find the cost for each pound of trail mix and each pound of jelly beans.

Let the cost of each pound of trail mix is $y.

and  the cost of each pound of jelly beans is $x.

According to question,

For   3 pounds of jelly beans and 2 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is $11.

⇒ 3x+2y=11  →  (1)

For 5 pounds of jelly beans and 6 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is $23

⇒ 5x+6y=23 →  (2)

Solving (1) and (2), we get

3(1 equation)-(2 equation)=0

⇒3(3x+2y)-5x-6y=3(11)-23

⇒9x+6y-5x-6y=10

hence,

⇒4x=10

⇒x=2.5

Putting x=2.5 in  3x+2y=11  we get ;

⇒  3x+2y=11

⇒  3(2.5)+2y=11

⇒  2y=11-7.5=3.5

⇒  y=1.75

Hence, the cost for each of jelly beans and each pound of trail mix is $2.5 and $1.75 .

Difference between compounded annually, monthly and daily.
zvonat [6]

Answer:

With monthly compounding, the bank will calculate interest on your account just once per month. It will not update your balance on a daily basis when it calculates how much interest it owes you. Assuming that the APR is the same, accounts with monthly compounding offer a lower APY than accounts with daily compounding.

Miguel is mixing up a salad dressing. regardless of the number of servings, the recipe requires that 5/8 of the finished dressin
olga_2 [115]
The remainder is 1-5/8-1/4=8/8-5/8-2/8=1/8.
If the quantity of dressing was 24oz, then there would be 15oz of olive oil, 6oz of vinegar and 3oz of mixture, consisting of 1oz each of salt, pepper and sugar.
If the vinegar doubles we have 12oz of vinegar. The quantity of ingredients is 15oz of olive oil, 12oz of vinegar, and 2oz of mixture (no sugar) making 29oz altogether. The proportion of olive oil is therefore 15/29.
