Let x be the greater number.

x+(x-2)=44

2x-2=44

2x=46

x=23.

Therefore, the greater of the two is 23.

Greta wants to make 5 pounds of a nut mix using peanuts and cashews. Her budget requires the mixture to cost her $6 per pound. P
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

3 pounds of peanuts and 2 pounds of cashews

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the pounds of peanuts and y be the pounds of cashews

Greta wants to make 5 pounds of a nut mix using peanuts and cashews.

So, x+y=5 ----- A

Cost of 1 pound of peanuts = $4

Cost of x pounds of peanuts = 4x

Cost of 1 pound of cashews = $9

Cost of y pounds of cashews = 9y

Her budget requires the mixture to cost her $6 per pound

So, cost of mixture of x pounds of peanuts and y pounds of cashews is 6(x+y)

So, 4x+9y=6(x+y) --- B

Plot A and B

x+y=5 ---Blue

4x+9x=6(x+y) ---Green

Refer the attached figure

Intersection point = (x,y)=(3,2)

Hence she should use 3 pounds of peanuts and 2 pounds of cashews

Without graphing, is the system independent, dependent, inconsistent? {12x=3y=12 y=-4x+5
Alla [95]
Okay so you out them into the form of y=mx+b. since equation 2 is already like that you need to do it to equation 1. which is y=-4x+4. graph both equations. if it has a solution (1 point where the two lines meet) it is consistantly and independent. if they are parallel lines and the solution is 0 the system is inconsistent and the lines are dependent. if it's the same line they are consistent and dependent. the line is not the same since the y intercept is different. the slope is the same though which tells us its parallel. so the system has a solution of 0 and is inconsistent and the lines are independent.
