We call pounds of type A coffee is x, while pounds of type B coffee is y.
A costs $4.15 per pound while B costs $5.80 per pound
y = 2x
$4.15x+$5.80y= $330.75
$4.15x + $5.80(2x)=$330.75
$15.75x=$330.75
x=21
Therefore, y=2x=42
Type A coffee were used 21 pounds.

Marcus and Jeremy both evaluated the expression −52 + 3. Marcus said the answer was −22. Jeremy said the answer was 28. Who is c
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Alright, the answer to the equation -52+3= -49

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't know how the heck Marcus and Jeremy got -22 and 28 but both are wrong. If there were a picture so I could see their work, I would be able to figure it out.

Anyways, The math is:

-52 + 3 which is pretty much 52-3 and then the answer has a negative sign.

-52 goes up 3 because technically the negative sign is down. Counting up 3 from 52 equals -49.

The value of x is negative. What must be true about 10 - x? Explain.
pashok25 [27]

What must be true is the expression will actually be adding 10 + (+ x), because of the two marks you have to make when subtracting by a negative.

The subtraction sign is also the negative sign. So in this case, the expression is also saying -x, which means there is two negative signs.

A double negative is a positive, so in this case the x will be turned to a positive integer.

If this is still too confusing, she can plug in a number to replace x. Let’s try it with -2:

Ex. 10 - (-2)= 12.

The two negative signs turn into one positive sign, AKA an addition sign. So, the above expression can be simplified as 10 + 2, or 12.

What does this mean 100 decreased by 77 mean
Daniel [21]

Answer: It just means 100 - 77% which equals to 23%.

Decreased means reduced or basically taking away a percentage of something. In this case it's numbers in math.

Hope this helps!
