Answer:C

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of peanuts sold

Let y represent the number of pounds of premium cashews sold

The manager of a bulk foods establishment sells peanuts for $6 per pound and premium cashews for $12 per pound. This means that the total cost of x pounds of peanuts and y pounds of premium cashews will be 6x + 12y

The manager wishes to make a 105 pound nut mixture. This means that

x + y = 105

If he wants to sell them for $10 per pound, the total will be 10 × 105 = 1050, then

6x + 12y = 1050 - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 105 - y into equation 1, it becomes

6(105 - y) + 12y = 1050

630 - 6y + 12y = 1050

-6y + 2y = 1050 - 630

6y = 420

y = 420/6 = 70

x = 105 - y

x = 105 - 70 = 35

There are 35 pounds of peanuts.

If y = 8 cm, what is the area of the blue section of this shape?
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

56 cm squared

Step-by-step explanation:

First things first: Cop one triangle off the rectangle, and attach it to the other one, so the shape looks like a L

Now I can actually solve this:

The left side is 8 cm (because y = 8 cm)

The top is 10 cm

The middle is 6 cm

The inside left is 3 cm

And the very bottom is 2 cm

First, we'll solve for the newly constructed rectangle: 3 x 2. That equals 6.

Next, solve for the longer rectangle: 10 x 5. That's 50.

Now, add the two areas, and we get 56. So the area of the whole thing is 56 cm squared.

(Please keep in mind that I could be wrong, so double check it for me, thanks!)

Given the functions j(x) = x2 + 3 and k(x) = x2 − x + 4, which operation results in a 2nd degree polynomial?
GrogVix [38]
Addition is the correct answer.

x^2 is the part where you get the second degree term. If you add x^2+x^2 you get 2x^2. If you subtract x^2-x^2 you get 0. If you multiply x^2*x^2 you get x^4, which is a fourth degree term
