Answer:

2 pounds of coffee costing $4 should be mixed with 3 pounds of coffee costing 4.50 a pound to obtain a mixture costing $4.30 a pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that coffee costing $4 a pound mixed with 3 pounds of coffee costing $4.50 a pound . we have to find the number of pounds of coffee mixed with 3 pounds of coffee costing $4.50 a pound to obtain a mixture costing $4.30 a pound.

Let x be the pounds of coffee mixed.

Cost of coffee of 3 pounds costing $4.50 a pound is 3(4.50)=$13.5

Total weight of mixture=x+3

The cost per pound of the mixture will be the total value of the coffee in the mixture divided by the total weight of the mixture which is 4x+13.5 divided by total weight 3 + x.

∴ A/Q the equation becomes

\frac{4x+13.5}{3+x}=4.30

⇒ 4x+13.5=4.30(3)+4.3x

⇒ 0.6=0.3x

⇒ x=2

Hence, 2 pounds of coffee costing $4 should be mixed with 3 pounds of coffee costing 4.50 a pound to obtain a mixture costing $4.30 a pound.

Which equation represents the function graphed on the coordinate plane?
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

The two lines connect at (-4,-10)This means you would add 4 to x and then subtract 10 from the equation.

This means the answer is: B.g(x) = |x + 4| – 10.

If m angle GEF is thirteen less than five times m angle DEG and m angle DEF = 149º, find m angle GEF. ​
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

122*

122 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠GEF is 13 less than 5 times m∠DEG and m∠DEF = 149*

Solution:

As per given data,

m∠GEF = 5m∠DEG - 13* … (i)

m∠DEF = 149* -> m∠GEF + m∠DEG = 149* .. (ii)

Substituting value of m∠GEF in (ii)

We get,

(5m ∠DEG - 13*) + m∠DEG = 149*

6m ∠DEG - 13* = 149*

6m ∠DEG = 149* + 13* = 162*

m∠DEG = * = 27*

Substituting value of m∠DEG in (i)

We get,

m∠GEF = 5(27*) - 13*

m∠GEF = 135* - 13* = 122*
