Let us call X the number of pounds of $6 candies and Y the number of pounds of $9 candies.
We know that:
X+Y=15 (we are picking a total of 15 pounds)
(6X+9Y)/15=7 (the average of each pound out of those 15 is "valued" $7)

So you can deduce that Y=15-X
Then replace Y in the other equation by 15-X which is:
(6X+9*(15-X))/15=7
(6X+135-9X)/15=7
(135-3X)/15=7
135-3X=7*15
135-3X=105
-3X=-30
X=10

So you can deduce that Y=15-10=5

As a matter of fact you can verify that 10 pounds of the first candies are valued $60 and 5 pounds of the seconds are valued $45 which is a total of 105.
105/15=7 which means that the overall 15 pounds do have an average per-pound-value of $7.

Describe the rotation of J
Serga [27]

Answer:

The coordinates of J' when rotating by 90° counterclockwise will be: J'(3, 1)

The coordinates of J' when rotating by 90° clockwise will be: J'(-3, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Square JKLM with vertices

  • J(1, -3)
  • K(5, 0)
  • L(8, -4)
  • M(4, -7)

We have to determine the answer for the image J' of the point (1, -3) when we rotate the point by 90° counterclockwise, we need to switch x and y, make y negative.

In other words, the rule to rotate a point by 90° counterclockwise.

P(x, y) → P'(-y, x)

As we are given that J(1, -3), so the coordinates of J' will be:

J(1, -3) → J'(3, 1)

Therefore, the coordinates of J' when rotating by 90° counterclockwise will be:  J'(3, 1).

When the point is rotated by 90° clockwise, we need to switch x and y, make x negative.

In other words, the rule to rotate a point by 90° clockwise.

P(x, y) → P'(y, -x)

As we are given that J(1, -3), so the coordinates of J' will be:

J(1, -3) → J'(-3, -1)

Therefore, the coordinates of J' when rotating by 90° clockwise will be:  J'(-3, -1)
