Answer:

<u>Kaapo will use 17.5 pounds of Kona beans and 7.5 pounds of Maui beans for his blend to cost him $ 17.70 per pound.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the problem correctly:

Number of pounds of the coffee blend = 25

Cost of Kona beans = US$ 15 per pound

Cost of Maui beans = US$ 24 per pound

Cost of the coffee blend = US$ 17.70 per pound

2. How many pounds of each coffee bean should Kaapo use for his blend to cost him $17.70 per pound?

Let's build our equation to answer the question, this way:

x = Number of pounds of Kona beans for Kaapo's blend

25 - x = Number of pounds of Maui beans for Kaapo's blend

Number of pounds of Kona beans for Kaapo's blend * Cost of Kona beans +  Number of pounds of Maui beans for Kaapo's blend * Cost of Maui beans = Number of pounds of the coffee blend * Cost of the coffee blend

Replacing with the real values, we have:

15x + 24 (25-x) = 17.70 * 25

15x + 600 - 24x = 442.50

-9x = 442.50 - 600

-9x = -157.50

x = -157.50/-9

x = 17.50 ⇒ 25 - x = 7.50

<u>Kaapo will use 17.5 pounds of Kona beans and 7.5 pounds of Maui beans for his blend to cost him $ 17.70 per pound.</u>

a room in a form of a cuboid has a length of 5cm, height 8cm and breadth 0.07m. if one person can occupy a volume of 14cm3(cube)
Over [174]

Answer:

20 people

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cuboid is equal to length * breadth * height.

First, we want to figure out the values relative to each other. Everything is in centimeters except the breadth, which is 0.07m. To convert meters to centimeters, we can multiply by 100: 0.07 * 100 = 7, so the breadth is 7cm.

Next, the volume is  length * breadth * height = 5cm * 7cm * 8cm = 280cm³. Each person occupies 14cm³. To find how many people can occupy the cube, we can divide the volume by the space each person takes, so

280cm³/14cm³ = 20 people

Note that we can divide because each person takes x amount of space, and the total space, z, can be represented by x * y = z, with y representing the amount of people, because we add x space for each person. Dividing both sides by x, we get y = z/x

Dado dos ángulos complementarios, uno mide (2x + 10) y el otro (x + 20),
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

El valor de <em>x</em> es igual a 20 o <em>x</em> = 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lo primero que se debe saber es que <em>dos ángulos complementarios suman un ángulo recto o 90º</em>.

Supongamos que el valor de un ángulo \\ \alpha y un ángulo \\ \beta valen:

\\ \alpha = 2x + 10 [1]

\\ \beta = x + 20 [2]

Como la suma de  \\ \alpha + \beta = 90 [3]

Entonces

\\ \alpha + \beta = (2x + 10) + (x + 20) = 90

Sumamos los factores comunes entre si:

\\ (2x + x) + (10 + 20) = 90

Para la primera expresión debemos recordar que se suman sólo los coeficientes. Así:

\\ (2 + 1)x + (10 + 20) = 90

\\ 3x + 30 = 90

Para despejar la incógnita <em>x</em>, debemos tener en cuenta que <em>una igualdad no se altera si se suma, se resta, se multiplica o divide un mismo valor a cada lado de ella</em>. Por esta razón, para despejar 3x, lo primero que podemos hacer es sumar -30 a cada lado de la expresión (lo que es igual a restar 30 a cada lado de la misma). Así tenemos:

\\ 3x + 30 - 30 = 90 - 30

\\ 3x + 0 = 90 - 30

\\ 3x = 60

Ahora dividimos cada miembro de la igualdad entre 3 (o multiplicamos cada lado de la igualdad por \\ \frac{1}{3} ):

\\ \frac{3}{3}x = \frac{60}{3}

Como sabemos que:

\\ \frac{3}{3} = 1

Entonces:

\\ 1*x = \frac{60}{3}

\\ x = \frac{60}{3}

\\ x = 20

De esta manera, el valor de <em>x</em> es igual a 20 o x = 20.

Lo anterior lo podemos comprobar considerando las ecuaciones [1], [2] y [3]. Así tenemos que:

\\ \alpha = 2x + 10 [1]

Sustituimos x por el valor de 20:

\\ \alpha = 2*20 + 10 = 40 + 10 = 50

\\ \beta = x + 20 [2]

Hacemos lo mismo para [2]:

\\ \beta = 20 + 20

\\ \beta = 40

De esta manera:

\\ \alpha + \beta = 90 [3]

\\ 50 + 40 = 90
