Answer:

So here is the answer.

We represent h = hardwood and p = pine bark

Here is the equation: h + p = 176

2.75p + 3.50h = 520

Next, p = 176 -h (substitute)

2.75 (176-h) + 3.5h = 520

484 -2.75h + 3.5h = 520

3.5h-2.75h = 520 -484

0.75h = 36 (divide both by 0.75)

h = 48

Therefore, the number of hardwood sold is 48.

h + p = 176

p = 176-48

p= 128

The number of pine bark sold is 128.

Hope this helps :)

The first and last terms of a 10-term arithmetic series are listed in the table. What is the sum of the series?
USPshnik [31]
The arithmetic sequence general formula is an = a1 + d *(n-1) where d is the arithmetic difference and n is an integer. In this case, upon derivation, the formula that represents the sum of the series is S = (a1  + an)*(n/2). Substituting, S = (3+75)*(10/2) equal to 390

Pls answer fast my teacher is waiting!

Answer:

For company A, y = 24x + 42

For company B, y = 28x + 25

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the number of containers

y is the total cost

For company A, y = 24x + 42

For company B, y = 28x + 25

For the cost of both companies to be the same, then

24x + 42 = 28x + 25

28x - 24x = 42 - 25

4x = 17

x = 4.25

Mr Lycan would have to order about 4 containers so the cost would be the same from each company

Pls help for number 6
Vlad1618 [11]
A: 45x + 30y = 1350
Since we don’t know how many adults and children are in the group, we use x and y

b: x-intercept= 30 y-intercept=45
To find the x-intercept you need to isolate the variable. 45x/45 = x
Then you do the same thing to the other side. 1350/45 = 30
So x=30
Same thing with the y-intercept.
30y/30 = y 1350/30 = 45
y=45 (Not really sure what it means by “what they represent” but I thinks it’s that there are 30 adult tickets and 45 children tickets )

c: so our points are (30,0) and (0,45) so you would graph that.
To find how many children tickets were bought if there were 20 adult tickets just look at the photo I put. I don’t know how to explain this.


Hope this helps
