He used 53 pounds. I got this by using two equations.
a+b=117
and
5.8a+4.1b= 569.8

I took the first equation and subtracted 'b' so the equation looked like a=117-b.
I then plugged in 117-b into the second equation, so it ended up looking like this:
5.8 (117-b)=569.8
5.8 times 117 is 678.6. And 5.8 times negative b is negative 5.8b.
The equation now looks like this:
678.6-5.8b+4.1b=569.8
Add like terms
678.6-1.7b=569.8
Then subtract 678.6 from both sides
-1.7b= -108.8
divide each side by -1.7
you get b= 64.
But because you are looking for how many pounds for a, subtract 64 from 117. You get 53. 53 is the answer.

What is the quadratic. Formula?

balu736 [363]

Answer:

$x = \frac{ - b ± \sqrt{ {b }^{2} - 4ac } }{2a}$

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, we'll use this quadratic equation.

${x}^{2} + 5x + 6$

To understand how to plug it into the formula we need to know what each term represents.

$a {x}^{2} + bx + c$

So the equation above would be put into the formula like this.

$x = \frac{ - 5± \sqrt{ {5}^{2} - 4(1)(6) } }{2(1)}$

Then we would solve

$\frac{ - 5± \sqrt{25 - 24} }{2} \\ \\ = \frac{ -5±1}{2}$

Now, the equation will branch off into one that solves when addition and one when subtraction.

$\frac{ - 5 + 1}{2} = \frac{ - 4}{2} = - 2 \\ \\ \frac{ - 5 - 1}{2} = \frac{ - 6}{2} = - 3$

So x={-3, -2} (-3 and -2)

Angles 1 and 2 are supplementary. 2 lines intersect to form angles 1 and 2. Which equation represents the relationship between t

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

$\angle 1 + \angle 2 = 180^o$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\angle 1$ and $\angle 2$

Required

The relationship between them $\angle 1$ and $\angle 2$

From the question, we understand that $\angle 1$ and $\angle 2$ are supplementary

Supplementary angles add up to 180.

So, the relationship between $\angle 1$ and $\angle 2$ is:

$\angle 1 + \angle 2 = 180^o$

Suppose there is a simple index of three stocks, stock X, stock Y, and stock Z.

Pie

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

so the first one ends at 4.7107

the second- 3.3568

the third- 5.1401

and multiplying the first by 5000 we get- 23,553.5

for the second we get -6,713.6

for the third we get 41,120

adding them all together we get 71,387.1

and so C is the closest
