Chocolates costing $8 per pound are to be mixed with chocolates costing $3 per pound to make a 20 pound mixture. If the mixture

is to sell for $5 per pound, how many pounds of each chocolate should be used? Which of the following equations could be used to solve the problem? 8x + 3x = 5(20) 8x + 3(20) = 5(x + 20) 8x + 3(20 - x) = 5(20)

Answer:

  8x + 3(20 - x) = 5(20)

Step-by-step explanation:

If x represents the number of pounds of $8 chocolates, then (20-x) is the number of pounds of $3 chocolates. The cost of the mix attributable to the $8 chocolates will be 8x, and the cost associated with the $3 chocolates will be 3(20-x). The sum of these costs is the cost of the 20 pounds of mix: $5×20.

In equation form, this is ...

  8x + 3(20-x) = 5(20)

_____

The solution is x=8, so 8 lb of $8 chocolates should be mixed with 12 lb of $3 chocolates to make a mix worth $5 per pound.

Which transformation maps the large triangle onto the small triangle? dilation reflection rotation translation
sweet [91]

A rotation transformation is where you turn a figure about a given point. The point about which the object is rotated can be inside the figure or anywhere outside it. There must be no change in shape or size of the object.

A reflection of an object is the 'flip' of that object over a line, called the line of reflection.

A translation is a term used in geometry to describe a function that moves an object a certain distance. The object is not altered in any other way. It is not rotated, reflected or re-sized.

All these three transformations are rigid - preserve the figure sizes.

A dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a figure. It can become larger or smaller, but the shape of the figure does not change.

Answer: dilation maps the large triangle onto the small triangle
