Marcario should use  4 pounds of macadamia nuts and 8 pounds of almonds.

Explanation

given

cost of macadamia nuts per pound=$9

cost of almond nuts per pound=$5.25

cost of the mixture per pound=$6.5

total pounds of the mixture to be made=12

let the pounds of macadamia nuts=x

pounds of almond nuts=y

total pounds of nuts=x+y=12

x+y=12(1)\\9x+5.25y=6.5(x+y)\\\\9x+5.25y=6.5*12\\9x+5.25y=78(2)

solving (1) and (2)

x=4

y=8

It is a linear equation but i don't know how to set the equation up , need help​
ryzh [129]

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of novels

y = number of dictionaries

x = 8y

88x + 208y = 13680

now, using the identity of the first equation in the second equation gives us

88(8y) + 208y = 13680

704y + 208y = 13680

912y = 13680

y = 13680/912 = 15

x = 8y = 8×15 = 120

so, there were 120 novels and 15 dictionaries sold.

A circle has a sector with are of (17/2)pi and a central angle of (17/90)pi radians. What is the area of the circle? Either ente
MAXImum [283]
This circle has a sector area of 17pi/2 and a central angle of 17pi/90. 

So, the whole angle of the circle would be 2pi. To find the area of a sector, you can use the formula A=R*Angle

17pi/2= R* 17pi/90
R=45

A=45^2 * pi
A=90 pi or  282.6

Please help me with 1a, thanks
valkas [14]

Since 1A claims that the diagram is of a square, you can easily find the perimeter by multiplying just one side by 4, because the definition of a square says that all of its four sides are equal in length.

Take the left side, x and 4, and add them together, because both of these lengths add up to form the side of the square. You have found one side of the square, x + 4. Now multiply this side by 4 for the perimeter.

Perimeter is the length all around the figure, and since a square has 4 sides you would multiply one side by 4 to find the perimeter.

4(x + 4) is your expression for the perimeter of the square. You could probably solve 1B and 1C by substituting in 3 and 5 for x in the equation I've given you :)

Find the slope and the y intercept of the line y=3/2x
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

slope / m = 3/2 & y-intercept =  (0,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b is the formula

m in this equation is 3/2 (y=3/2x)

there's no b because there's no constant so it's (0,0)
