Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's use the variables A and B to represent the number of pounds used of types A and B.

4.10A+5.30B=640.50

A+B=141

Let's rearrange the bottom equation to solve for B.

A+B=141

Subtract A from both sides.

B=141-A

We can put this value of B into the first equation to solve for the number of pounds of type A Omar used.

4.10A+5.30(141-A)=640.5

We use distributive property to undo parentheses.

4.10A+747.3-5.3A=640.5

We combine like terms.

-1.2A+747.3=640.5

Subtract 747.3 from both sides.

-1.2A=-106.8

Divide both sides by -1.2

A=89

Omar used 89 pounds of type A coffee in this month's blend.

Have a wonderful day! :D

Assume that a student attends a four-year college with tuition costs of $20,000 per year, room and board costs of $5,000 per yea
Kamila [148]

Answer:

$180,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a student attends a four-year college with tuition costs of $20,000 per year, room and board costs of $5,000 per year, and books/entertainment costs of $1,000 per year. If the student did not go to college, she would work at a job that pays $25,000 per year but still face the same room and board and entertainment expenses.

We know that opportunity cost is the profit lost, when one alternative is selected over another.

Opportunity cost of attending college for 4 years would be amount lost from job in 4 years plus amount spent on studies because the student lost $25,000 for four years for not doing the job and spent $20,000 for 4 years on studies.

4(\$25000+\$20,000)=4(\$45,000)=\$180,000

Therefore, the opportunity cost of attending college for this student for four years is $180,000.

Write y=x^2-4x-1 in vertex form
Dvinal [7]

Answer:  y= (x+2)² − 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The way I got this answer is by completing the square. The first step though, when looking at this equation, is to see if we can factor it. The way to check is to look at the coefficient for x² which is 1, and the constant, in this case -1. If we multiply those together, we get  −. Now we look at the middle term, 4x. We need to find any numbers that multiply to equal  −  1x² and add to  4x. There aren't any, which means it is not factorable.

Hope I helped
