Answer:
Option A.) 20 pounds of walnuts and 25 pounds of almonds is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
i) let x be the the number of pounds of almonds
ii) let y be the number of pounds of walnuts
iii) therefore x + y = 45 pounds of the mixture
iv) 1.2x + 0.75y = 1.00 
45 = 45
v) Multipling equation in iv) by 4 we get
4.8x + 3y = 180
vi) multiplying equation in iii) by 3 we get
3x + 3y = 135
vii) subtracting equation vi) from equation v) we get 1.8x = 45
ix) therefore we get x = 45/1.8 = 25 pounds of almonds
x) therefore 25 + y = 45 .... substituting value of x from ix) in iii) we get
therefore y = 20 pounds of walnuts
Therefore option A.) 20 pounds of walnuts and 25 pounds of almonds is correct.
False. If x=-3 and y=-6 and you substitute them into the equation they do not add up
Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the ladder, wall, and ground form a right triangle, you can use this formula:
A squared + B squared = C squared
A = 7 feet
C = 25 feet
B = distance the ladder will reach
49 + B squared = 625
B squared = 625 - 49
B = square root of 576
B = 24 feet
Hi Cherise1cherhop lets break this equation down with these steps:
1) add the whole numbers first
2) find the LCD of the fractions and that would be 42 since 42 can go into both denominators through multiplication
3) make the denominators (bottom numbers) the same as the LCD (42)
4) simplify it, now the denominators are equal
5) join the denominators together
6) simplify it (3 + 65/42)
7) convert 65/42 to mixed fraction
8) now that we made it a mixed fraction, simplify it
Answer: 4 23/42
