Answer: 2.5 pounds of beef  and 3.25 pounds of pork

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, the answer is incomplete because is lacking how much more pork she bought. <em>She bought 0.75 pounds more pork than beef and spends $15.25</em>, is the complete form.

So, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

  • <em>Beef: $3.50 per pound </em>
  • <em>Pork: $2.00 per pound </em>
  • <em>Pounds of beef = x </em>
  • <em>Pounds of pork = x + 0.75 </em>
  • <em>Total cost : $15.25</em>

So, the equation is:

3.50x + 2 (x+0.75) = 15.25

3.50x +2x + 1.5 =15.25

5.50 x = 15.25 -1.5

5.50x = 13.75

x = 13.75/5.50  

x = 2.5 pounds of beef

Replacing the value of x in the Pork's equation:

Pounds of pork = x +0.75 = 0.75 +2.5 = 3.25 pounds of pork

Clark has a box of nickels and dimes that totals $1.90. there are a total of 27 coins. how many nickels and dimes does he have?
Andrej [43]
$0.05(n) + $0.10(d) = $1.90
n + d = 27
n + d - d =27 - d
n = 27 - d

$0.05(27-d) + $0.10(d) = $1.90
1.35 - 0.05d + 0.10d = $1.90
1.35 +0.05d = $1.90
1.35 - 1.35 +0.05d = $1.90 -1.35
0.05d = 0.55
0.05d/0.05 = 0.55/0.05
d = 11

n = 27 - 11
n = 16

$0.05(16) + $0.10(11) = $1.90
$0.80 + $1.10 = $1.90
$1.90 = $1.90

64 FL oz

1 pint is 12 fl oz.

Since you're looking for 4 pints, you multiply everything by 4.


1 x 4 = 4
12 x 4 = 64

How do I solve this?
Artemon [7]

a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)

In this case

49x^4y^2 - 4z^2

= (7x^2y)^2 - (2z)^2

= (7x^2y + 2z)(7x^2y - 2z)

Factors are (7x^2y + 2z) and (7x^2y - 2z)

Answer:

D) 7x^2y + 2z
