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.

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP!!!!!!!!!!

The equation of the sin function is y = 3sin(πx/2) + 1, and the graph of the function is shown in the picture.

<h3>What is sin function?</h3>

It is defined as a function that is sinusoidal in nature, and it has a domain of all real numbers and lies between the [a, a]where is the amplitude of the function.

As we know the sin function is represented by:

y = Asin(Bx) + C

Here,

A = The amplitude  =  3

C = The vertical shift  = 1

B - The period in terms of π

B = 2π/amplitude

B = 2π/4

B = π/2

The becomes:  

\rm y = 3sin(\dfrac{\pi }{2}x)+1

Thus, the equation of the sin function is y = 3sin(πx/2) + 1, and the graph of the function is shown in the picture.

Please help me solve this question:)​

Answer:

The answer would be a=2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both sides of the equation are being multiplied by b then you would divide both of them by B. This will just remove the B from the equation entirely and leave you with a=2. I hope that this was helpful.

If f(x)=square root 4x+9+2, which inequality can be used to find the domain of f(x)?
jenyasd209 [6]

we have

f(x)=\sqrt{4x+9} +2

we know that

The radicand must be greater than or equal to zero

so

4x+9 \geq0 \\ 4x\geq -9 \\x\geq -\frac{9}{4} \\ x\geq -2.25

the domain is is the interval--------> [-2.25,∞)

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

4x+9 \geq0
