Nuts.com sells raw almonds for $10 per pound and roasted pistachios for $12 per pound. Christopher spends $70, before taxes and

shipping, to purchase 6.3 total pounds of nuts. Let a represent the number of pounds of almonds and let p represent the number of pounds of pistachios. Which system of equations represents the situation?
Question 1 options:


{10a+p=70
a+70p=6.3



{10a+12p=70
a+p=6.3



{10a+12p=6.3
a+p=70



{10a+12p=70
10a+12p=6.3

Answer:

second equation

Step-by-step explanation:

10a + 12p = 70  (10 goes with almonds [a], 12 goes with pistachios[p], $10 and $12 is price per pound and $70 is total price, so that's why its = to 70)

a + p = 6.3        (this is total almonds and pistachios adding up to 6.3 pounds)

a = pounds of almonds

p = pounds of pistachios

The length of a rectangle is 5 m longer than its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 46 m , find its area.
lys-0071 [83]
The sides of the rectangla are its length and width. We know the length is 5m longer than the width. Since we dont know the width, we can say that the width is x and the length is x+5.

The perimeter, as we know, is equal to the sum of all sides. We have two “length” sides and two “width” sides, so our equation is:

x + x + x+5 + x+5 = 46
Lets add all of this:
4x + 10 = 46
4x = 46-10
4x = 36
x = 36/4
x = 9

So our width is 9m and the length is 14m.

The area of a rectangle is width times length, so:
9*14=126m^2.

The side length of a square patio is 2.59 meters. Which is the best estimate for the perimeter of the patio, in meters?
Alex787 [66]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The perimeter is all of the sides of a shape added up.

Since all of the sides on a square are the same and we know one side, we just multiply it by four.

2.59(4)=10.36

Therefore, the patio is about 10.56 meters.

I hope that this helps! :D

Solve the following equation for all values of x <br> 2x^2+18x-17=11x-2
Cerrena [4.2K]

2x^2 + 18x - 17 = 11x - 2

           -11x   +2    -11x   +2

2x^2 +7x - 15 = 0

(x - 1.5) (x + 5)

x = 1.5    x = -5
