Step-by-step explanation:
Didn't use a calculator :) Please mark me as brainliest. Thanks!
X = price of the ingredients
so based on the proportion , we can write that :
Almonds needed = x = $ 12 x
peanut needed = 2x = 2x * $ 8 = $ 16x
raisins needed = 3x = 3x * $6 = $ 18x
Equation =
12x + 16x + 18x ≤ $ 23
46x = $23
x = $ 0.5
The pound of mix he can made :
0.5 * 1 pound of almond + 0.5 x * 2 pound of peanuts + 0.5 * 3 pound of raisins
= 3 Pound of mix
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a geometric mean problem...a ratio. The geometric mean is the height of the triangle, 6. To solve:
and cross multiply to solve for x:
3x = 36 so
x = 12
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 13y = 232
12x + 7y = 218
For each choice:
a) The first equation can be multiplied by –13 and the second equation by 7 to eliminate y. So we have
- 65x - 169y = - 3016
84x + 49y = 1526
Can not eliminate x and y.
b) The first equation can be multiplied by 7 and the second equation by 13 to eliminate y. So we have
35x + 91 y = 1624
156x + 91y = 2834
Can not eliminate x and y if we ADD.
<em>(If we subtract, this is Yes)</em>
<em></em>
c) The first equation can be multiplied by –12 and the second equation by 5 to eliminate x.
-60x - 156y = - 2784
60x + 35y = 1090
The answer is YES
d) The first equation can be multiplied by 5 and the second equation by 12 to eliminate x.
25x + 65y = 1160
144x + 84y = 2616
Can not eliminate x and y
The final answer is C
Answer:
- width: 18 in
- length: 27 in
Step-by-step explanation:
The relations between length (L) and width (W) are ...
W +9 = L
LW = 486
Substituting gives ...
(W+9)W = 486
W^2 +9W -486 = 0 . . . put in standard form
(W +27)(W -18) = 0 . . . . factor
W = 18 . . . . the positive solution
The width of the rectangle is 18 inches; the length is 27 inches.

<em>Comment on factoring</em>
There are a number of ways to solve quadratics. Apart from using a graphing calculator, one of the easiest is factoring. Here, we're looking for factors of -486 that have a sum of 9.
486 = 2 × 3^5, so we might guess that the factors of interest are -2·3² = -18 and 3·3² = 27. These turn out to be correct: -18 +27 = 9; (-18)(27) = -486.
