Price of 12 pounds of trail mix = 12 x $4.20
= $50.40
Let the number of pounds of skittles and trail mix be x,
number of pounds of skittles = 12 - x
price of pounds of skittles = $16.70(12 - x)
= $200.40 - 16.7x
total amount = 10.93x
200.40 - 16.7x + 50.40 = 10.93x
250.80 = 27.63x
x = 10 (nearest whole number)
the minimum number of pounds of skittles is 10.

What is the angle in a triangle that is part of a linear pair? i will give 15 points im desperate
gogolik [260]

Answer:  Linear pairs of angles add up to 180 degrees. A+B=180

Step-by-step explanation: A linear pair of angles is formed when two lines intersect. Two angles are said to be linear if they are adjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines. The measure of a straight angle is 180 degrees, so a linear pair of angles must add up to 180 degrees

The first step in the process for factoring the trinomial x2-3x - 40
Alexxx [7]
We need two numbers that when multiplied will give you -40 and when added will give you -3:
(x+5) (x-8) this is your answer. And you want to know the process Here it goes. And attached is a chart I made you so you can visually see what this process is telling you:
1) identify a,b, and c in the trinomial ax^2 + bx+c (in your case it's 1x^2-3x-40= x^2-3x-40)
2) write down all factor pairs of c (numbers that multiplied produce -40)
3) identify which factor pair from the previous step sums up to b
4) Substitute factor pairs into two binomials
