Make 2 equations from the question first
x is the number of pints for type 1
y is the number of pints for type 2

The equation
x + y = 120
60% x + 85% y = 65% (x + y)

Solve the equation
From the 2nd equation
0.6x + 0.85y = 0.65(x + y)
0.6x + 0.85y = 0.65x + 0.65y
0.85y - 0.65y = 0.65x - 0.6x
0.2y = 0.05x
y = 4x

From the 1st equation
x + y = 120
x + 4x = 120
5x = 120
x = 24

y = 4x
y = 96

The first type should be 24 pints, the second type should be 96 pints

What is the minimum y-value after which the exponential function will always be greater than the linear function? y = 1 y = 3 y
Stells [14]

Answer:

y = 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

I suppose that this question relates to the image that can be seen below.

In the image, the green line represents the exponential function and the blue line represents the linear function.

The y-value after which the exponential function will always be greater than the linear function is the y-value where bot graphs intersect, such that after that point, the blue line starts increasing fast, and is always above the green line.

In this case, this point is the second intersection, and we can see that this intersection happens in the point (2, 4)

Remember that the usual notation for points is (x, y).

Then the y-value after which the exponential function will always be greater than the linear function is y = 4.
