Answer:

8 pound of orange slices

5 pound of strawberry leaves.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = weight of orange slices and Y = weight of strawberry leaves.

Therefore,

Quantities:

i. X + Y = 13

Cost:

ii. 1.27X + 1.77Y = 19.01

Rearranging i. equation:

Y = 13 – X

Substituting this in the second equation

1.27X + 1.77*(13 – X) = 19.01

1.27X + 23.01 - 1.77X= 19.01

0.5X = 4

X = 8

Inputting the value X into i. equation:

8 = 13 – Y

Y = 5.

The question here has wrong numbers. Here is the correct question:

A supermarket is selling 2 types of candies, orange slices and strawberry leaves. The orange slices cost $1.27 per pound and the strawberry leaves cost $1.77 per pound. How many pounds of each should be mixed to get a 13-pound mixture that sells for $19.01?

Answer:

8 pounds of orange slices and 5 pounds of strawberry leaves

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is related to simple algebra

Let x represent orange slices weight

Let y represent strawberry leaves weight

The sum of the weights of x and y will be 13 pounds

So first equation will be x + y = 13

The total cost will be $19.01

So the second equation will be

1.27x + 1.77y = 19.01

Using first equation  

x + y = 13

x = 13 – y

Substituting this in the second equation

1.27 (13 - y) + 1.77y = 19.01

16.51 – 1.27y + 1.77y = 19.01

16.51 + 0.5y = 19.01

y = 5

 

Using this value of y to find x

x = 13 – y

x = 13 – 5

x = 8

So 8 pounds of orange slices and 5 pounds of strawberry leaves

Find the value of x and the value of y.
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

6√3 = x           y =12

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the two sides of the triangles have equal angles then two sides have equal length

the sum of interior angles of triangles is 180° then the last angle is 60°

then the triangles have perfect sides of 12

y = 12

to calculate x

sin Ф = opposite/hypothenus

sin 60° = x/12

sin 60° = √3/2

( √3/2 )  x 12  = x

6√3 = x

On a blueprint of a house, 48 millimeters represents 7 meters. The length of the living room is 60 millimeters on the blueprint.
Pani-rosa [81]
Here is the equation 48/7=60/x, 48÷7=6.8571428571. Now we know that every one meter in real life is equal to 6.8571428571 millimeters so, 60÷6.8571428571= 8.75 meters. The living room is 8.75 meters

Rectangle ABCD is graphed in the coordinate plane. The following are the vertices of the rectangle: A(2,−3) B(4,−3) C(4,5) D(2,5
AveGali [126]

Answer:

21 unit square

Step-by-step explanation:

First you want to find the length and width of the rectangle using the distance formula:

d=√(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

AB=√(6-3)²+ (-2 - -2)²

AB=√3² + 0

AB=√9

AB=3

BC=√(6-6)²+ (5 - -2)²

BC=√0 + 7²

BC=√49

BC=7

We can find the area by multiplying these two distances together:

A=(3)(7)

A=21 units square.
