\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&\stackrel{lb}{amount}&\stackrel{lb}{price}&\stackrel{total}{price}\\
&------&------&------\\
\textit{6 per lb coffee}&x&6&6x\\
\textit{3.5 per lb coffee}&y&3.5&3.5y\\
-------&------&------&------\\
mixture&25&5.25&131.25
\end{array}

same as before, we add the 1st and 3rd columns, since the mixture is just the sum of the elements above it.

\bf \begin{cases}
x+y=25\implies \boxed{y}=25-x\\
6x+3.5y=131.25\\
----------\\
6x+3.5\left( \boxed{25-x} \right)=131.25
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
6x+87.5-3.5x=131.25\implies 2.5x=131.25-87.5
\\\\\\
2.5x=43.75\implies x=\cfrac{43.75}{2.5}\implies x=17.5

how many lbs will it be of the 3.50 per lb coffee?  well, y = 25 -x.

The table below shows the cost of comic books.
nika2105 [10]
15 because in the table 10=12.50 so to find how much 1 is you have to move the decimal one place to the left (1.25). Then you have to do 1.25x12 which gives you 15. Hope this helps!

2(1-k), k-1, k+8 are the first three terms of a geometrical sequence. Find the value of k.
Galina-37 [17]

If these are terms of a geometric sequence, they have a common ratio. That is, ...

... (k -1)/(2(1 -k)) = (k +8)/(k -1)

... (k -1)² = 2(1 -k)(k +8) . . . . . multiply by the product of the denominators.

... k² -2k +1 = -2k² -14k +16 . . . eliminate parentheses

... 3k² +12k -15 = 0 . . . . . . . . put in standard form (subtract the right side)

... 3(k +5)(k -1) = 0 . . . . . . . . . factor

Possible values of k are ... -5, +1. The solution k=1 is extraneous, as it makes the first two terms 0 and the third term 8. (It doesn't work.)

The value of k is -5.

_____

The three terms are 12, -6, 3. The common ratio is -1/2.

I need help with this!
Leviafan [203]

Solution

f(r) = 3.14r^{2}

Now we have to find the area of the circle when the radius (r) = 4.

Plug in r = 4 in f(r) to get the area of the circle.

f(4) = 3.14(4^{2} )

f(4) = 3.14 * 4 * 4

f(4) = 3.14 *16

f(4) = 50.24

The answer is C. 50.24
