Answer:

1.   2r+1.6b=10

2.  r=5-0.8b

3.  b=6.25-1.25r

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The complete exercise is: "Brown rice costs $2 per pound, and beans cost $1.60 per pound. Lin has $10 to spend on these items to make a large meal of beans and rice for a potluck dinner. Let b be the number of pounds of beans Lin buys and r be the number of pounds of rice she buys when she spends all her money on this meal.</h3><h3>1. Write an equation relating the two variables.</h3><h3>2. Rearrange the equation so "b" is the independent variable.</h3><h3>3. Rearrange the equation so "r" is the independent variable."</h3><h3 />

1. According to the information exercise given in the exercise, the cost per pounds of brown rice is $2. Since "r" represents the number of pounds of rice Lin buys, the total cost of the brown rice she buys can be represented with this expression:

2r

The beans cost $1.60 per pound. Since "b" represents the number of pounds of beans Lin buys, the total cost of beans she buys can be represented as:

1.6b

Knowing that she spends $10, you can write the following equation:

2r+1.6b=10

2. In order to rearrange the equation so "b" is the independent variable, you need to solve for "r":

2r+1.6b=10\\\\2r=10-1.6b\\\\r=\frac{10-1.6b}{2} \\\\r=5-0.8b

3. To rearrange the equation so "r" is the independent variable, you must solve for "b". You get:

2r+1.6b=10\\\\1.6b=10-2r\\\\b=\frac{10-2r}{1.6}\\\\b=6.25-1.25r

Complementary and
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

\boxed{\boxed{\sf x=42\°}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the diagram, we can see that ∠PQR and ∠RQS are complementary angles.

*Two angles with measures that add up to 90° are known as Complementary angles.*

Therefore, m∠PQR+m∠RQS=90°

\sf \angle PQR+\angle RQS=90\°

\sf 48+x=90\°

Subtract 48 from both sides:

\sf 48+x-48=90-48

\sf x=42\°
