We let x as the cost of one ounce of Sumatra and y as the cost of one ounce of Celebes Kalossi. For mixture 1, we have 12x + 4y = 32 and for mixture b, we have 4x + 12y = 40

First, Multiply eq. 1 by 4
4(12x + 4y = 32)4        ⇒    36x + 12y = 96

We now have 
(36x + 12y = 96) – (4x + 12y = 40)
<span>X = 1.75     ⇒ cost of one ounce of Sumatra 
</span>
Substitute x to either equation to get the value of y
12(1.75) + 4y = 324
y = 32-21
4y = 11
Y = 2.75     ⇒ cost of one ounce of Celebes Kalossi

a parallelogram has one angle that measures 55 degrees. what are the measures of the other angles in the parrelogram.
Ugo [173]

a parallelogram has four sides so all its angles add up to make 360

the angle across from the 55 would also be a 55 equaling a 110 degrees angle leaving you with 250 so your other two angles both equal 125

Please solve these soon I have to turn thin in tomorrow !!!!!!!!
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

a) so if you're looking for a then you substitute the a in the problem so the real question would be answered by simply doing this. 3 times (do this first) 6 times 3. so it would end up looking like this if you did it in your head. 6x3=18 then 18x3= 54 so the answer for ten after you did all the math would equal out to be 54.

d) so you're going to substitue the d again, for what it tells you d equals. in this case, d= a negative 2 so, 5 x do this first -2 x 4 = so if you did this in your head you would end up with -2 x 4 = -8 because anything times a negative is turned into a negative. so that is why the answer is -8 for the first part. then you multiply that answer by 5 because we all like the 5 dollar foot longs. so carry that into an answer of - 40. because we all know we want to be younger once we reach 40.

r) 5times -3 equals -15 times 2 would be... ding ding ding 30 because a negative times a negative is a positive. think of negatives this way. when you frown it's your smile upside down. ok so a frown is a negative, if you multiply a negative to a negative it's like turning your frown upside down. so you end up with a positive! ok?! so there. the secrets of life and math.

call me for the rest of the answers... this is too much to write down.

Based on the graph which congruence theorems or postulates are reasons why these graphs are equal?
AnnZ [28]

Triangles DEF and JKL can be proven to be congruent triangles based on:

C. ASA

E. AAS

F. LA

<h3>What is the ASA Congruence Theorem?</h3>

The ASA congruence theorem states that if two triangles that are have two pairs of corresponding congruent angles and a pair of corresponding included congruent sides, then both triangles are congruent to each other.

<h3>What is the LA Congruence Theorem?</h3>

The LA congruence theorem states that two right triangles are congruent if they have a pair of congruent legs and a pair of congruent angles that are corresponding to each other.

<h3>What is the AAS Congruence Theorem?</h3>

The AAS congruence theorem states that two triangles with two pairs of congruent angles and a pair of congruent non-included sides are congruent.

From the image given, triangles DEF and JKL can be proven to be congruent triangles using the LA, AAS, and ASA congruence theorems.
