Answer:
Noah needs 8 pounds of the coffee that costs $9.20 per pound and 12 pounds of the coffee that costs $5.50 per pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of pounds of the coffee that sells for 9.20 be x while the number of pounds of the coffee that sells for 5.5 be y.
From the question, we know he wants to make 20 pounds of coffee
Thus;
x + y = 20 •••••••••••(i)
Let’s now work with the values
For the $9.20 per pound coffee, the cost out of the total will be 9.20 * x = $9.20x
For the $5.5 per pound coffee, the cost out of the total be 5.5 * y = $5.5y
The total cost is 20 pounds at $6.98 per pound: that would be 20 * 6.98 = $139.6
Thus by adding the two costs together we have a total of $139.6
So we have our second equation;
9.2x + 5.5y = 139.6 •••••••(ii)
From i, y = 20 - x
Let’s substitute this in ii
9.2x + 5.5(20-x) = 139.6
9.2x + 110 -5.5x = 139.6
9.2x -5.5x = 139.6-110
3.7x = 29.6
x = 29.6/3.7
x = 8 pounds
Recall;
y = 20 - x
y = 20-8
y = 12 pounds
Set up the equation...
1/8(23 + 17)=
1/8 (40) =
1/8 × 40/1 =
40/8 = 5
Hi there.
Thanks for using Brainly!
First, let's rewrite to make this problem easier.
1^2 - a^2b^2
Then we must multiply the terms with equal exponents with their bases.
1^2-(ab)^2
Using the factor: a^2 - b^2=(a-b)(a+b)
We can factor using that expression.
(1-ab) x (1+ab)
After factoring, this has been our solution.
Solution: (1-ab) x (1+ab)

Answer:
this equation would have one solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Because it has 2 different numbers before the variables.
