Answer:
14 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equations can be solved for y by substituting for x. The first equation is convenient for writing x in terms of y.
<h3>Solution</h3>
x = 20 -y . . . . . . . subtract y from the first equation
7(20 -y) +5.5y = 119 . . . . . substitute for x in the second equation
140 -1.5y = 119 . . . . . . . . simplify
21 = 1.5y . . . . . . . . . . . add 1.5y -119 to both sides
14 = y . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 1.5
14 pounds of soy nuts should be used in the mixture.

<em>Additional comment</em>
There are many ways to solve a system of two linear equations. The attachments shows a matrix solution using a suitable calculator. It tells us that x=6 and y=14, as we found above.
The given shapes area is found to be 4 square yards.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1; To determine the area of an indefinite shape we must divide it into the shapes that we know. The shape that is given can be split into a triangle with a rectangle in it.
Step 2; Any given triangles area is half the multiplication of its base value and its height value. In the given diagram, the base of the triangle measures a length of 5 yards and the length from base to top is 4 yards
Area of the triangle = 
* base * height = * 5 * 4 = 10 square yards.
The given rectangle measures a length of 3 yards and a width of 2 yards. The area of any given rectangle is the multiplication of its length and width.
Area of the rectangle = Length * Width = 3 yards * 2 yards = 6 square yards.
Step 3; To find the total area of the shape we must subtract the the rectangle's area from the triangle's area.
Area of given shape = Area of the triangle - Area of the rectangle.
Area of given shape = 10 square yards - 6 square yards = 4 square yards.
Answer:
Expected value would be $ 0.896
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
The price of the lottery ticket = $44800000,
Also, the probability of winning the grand prize = .000000020,
Thus, the expected value of the lottery ticket = value of the lottery ticket × probability of getting the lottery ticket
= 44800000 × .000000020
= $0.896
Note : value of lottery ticket = prize amount - cost of each ticket,
Here the cost price of a ticket is not given,
That's why we did not consider it.
Answer: See below
Step-by-step explanation:
When you see that something is to the power of a negative number, it is another way of saying 1 over.
1 / 10 is the easiest answer. Remember ratios are just percentages. It could also be 2/20, 3/30, as long as it is 10%.
