Let's use K for Kona and F for Fuji.  The system of equations has to be a balanced system.  For example, you can't mix the number of pounds of beans with the cost for each because pounds and dollars are different and you can only combine like terms...pounds with pounds and dollars with dollars.  So let's start with the number of pounds.  Since we don't know how much of each he bought we have the 2 unknowns, F and K, but we DO know that he bought 23 pounds total. So the first equation is
K + F = 23
Now let's see what we can do with the dollars. Again, we don't know how much he bought of each kind of coffee, but we do know that Kona beans cost $11 per pound and that Fuji beans cost $7.50 per pound, and we know that he spent a total of $197. So let's set that up:
11K + 7.50F = 197
Those are your 2 equations. It doesn't say you need to solve them, so you're done.

A pet store was selling 4 lizards for $47.88. If they ended up selling 6 lizards, how much would they have earned?
fgiga [73]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one- Find out how much it costs for one Lizard In this case, for four lizards it costs $47.88. To find the price for one lizard you divide 47.88 by four

$47.88/4Lizards=$11.97 per lizard.

Step two- Now that we have the price for one lizard, your question asks you how much for 6 lizards. We need to find that cost. To do so you multiply $11.97 by 6 for the lizards.

Your answer is $71.82

Hope This Helped :)

Write a quadratic function in standard form with zeros 1 and -10
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

f(x)=x^2+9x-10

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Standard Form of Quadratic Function</u>

The standard form of a quadratic function is:

f(x)=ax^2+bx+c

where a,b, and c are constants.

The factored form of a quadratic equation is:

f(x)=a(x-\alpha)(x-\beta)

Where \alpha and \beta are the roots or zeros of f, and a is constant.

We know the zeros of the function are 1 and -10. The function is:

f(x)=a(x-1)(x-(-10))

f(x)=a(x-1)(x+10)

Operating:

f(x)=a(x^2+10x-x-10)

Joining like terms:

f(x)=a(x^2+9x-10)

Since we are not given any more restrictions, we can choose the value of a=1, thus. the required function is:

\boxed{f(x)=x^2+9x-10}
