Answer: 30 pounds of coffee beans worth $10.50 per pound was used.

20 pounds of coffee beans worth $13.00 per pound was used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of coffee beans worth $10.50 per pound that should be mixed.

Let y represent the number of coffee beans worth $13.00 per pound that should be mixed.

50 pounds of beans worth $11.50 per pound is to be made. The total cost of the mixture would be

50 × 11.5 = 575

This means that

10.5x + 13y = 575 - - - - - - - 1

The total number of pounds of each type of coffee used is 50. This means that

x + y = 50

Substituting x = 50 - y into equation 1, it becomes.

10.5(50 - y) + 13y = 575

525 - 10.5y + 13y = 575

- 10.5y + 13y = 575 - 525

2.5y = 50

y = 50/2.5 = 20

x = 50 - 20= 30

Francine applies the commutative property to the product. (−8/9)⋅(−13)⋅(18) Which expression illustrates the commutative propert
oksian1 [2.3K]

The commutative property implies that, the order of multiplication is not important.

(-\frac 89) \cdot (18) \cdot (-13) is true

Commutative property of multiplication states that:

If a \times b  = b \times a

The expression is given as:

(-\frac 89)\cdot (-13) \cdot (18)

To get the commutative expression, we simply change the position of each factor in the expression.

So, some possible equivalent expressions are:

(18) \cdot (-13) \cdot (-\frac 89)

(18)\cdot (-\frac 89) \cdot (-13)

(-13) \cdot (18) \cdot (-\frac 89)

There are several other equivalent expressions.

From the list of options;

(-\frac 89) \cdot (18) \cdot (-13) is true

The longest side of the right triangle is 2 feet more than the middle side and the middle side is 1 foot less than twice the sho
Ket [755]
A right triangle's longest side is the hypotenuse
let x=longest, y=middle, and z=shortest
x=y+2
y=2z-1
therefore x=(2z-1)+2=2z+1
find z
z^2+y^2=x^2 by Pythagorean theorem
plug in x and y in terms of z
z^2+(2z-1)^2=(2z+1)^2
z^2+4z^2-4z+1=4z^2+4z+1
subtract the right-hand side's value from the left-hand side's
z^2-8z=0
z(z-8)=0
z=0, 8
z cannot be zero as the sides must have some value to it.
Therefore the shortest side is equal to 8
