go 2 eggs and 3 cups of cream. Into each quart of Continental Mocha go 1 egg and 3 cups of cream. You have in stock 700 eggs and 1350 cups of cream. How many quarts of each flavor should you make in order to use up all the eggs and cream? HINT [See Example 6.]

Answer:

You should make 250 quarts of Creamy Vanilla and 200 of Continental Mocha to use up all the eggs and cream.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by a first order equation

I am going to call x the number of quarts of Creamy Vanilla and y the number of quarts of Continental Mocha.

The problem states that each quart of Creamy Vanilla uses 2 eggs and each quart of Continental Mocha uses 1 egg. There are 700 eggs in stock, so:

2x + y = 700.

The problem also states that each quart of Creamy Vanilla uses 3 cups of cream and that each quart of Continental Mocha uses 3 cups of cream. There are 1350 cups of cream in stock, so:

3x + 3y = 1350

Now we have to solve the following system of equations

1) 2x + y = 700

2) 3x + 3y = 1350

I am going to write y as function of x in 1) and replace it in 2)

y = 700 - 2x

3x + 3(700 - 2x) = 1350

3x + 2100 - 6x = 1350

-3x = -750 *(-1)

3x = 750

x = 250

You should make 250 quarts of Creamy Vanilla

Now, replace it in 1)

y = 700 - 2x

y = 700 - 2(250)

y = 700 - 500

y = 200.

You should make 200 quarts of Continental Mocha

A 13.5-meter ladder leans against a brick wall and the ladder makes a 75∘ with the wall. The distance d the ladder goes up the w
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

3.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean theorem to find the distance (d) the distance goes up the wall = adjacent to the angle 75° that is formed with the wall.

Length of ladder = the hypothenuse = 13.5 m

Thus, we would use:

Cos75 = adjacent/hypothenuse

Cos 75 = d/13.5

Multiply both sides by 13.5

13.5*cos(75) = d

13.5*0.2588 = d

3.4938 = d

d ≈ 3.5 m (nearest tenth)
