The floor of a canyon has an elevation of −14.5−14.5 feet. Erosion causes the elevation to change by −1.5−1.5 feet per year. How

many years will it take for the canyon floor to have an elevation of −31−31 feet?

<span>The canyon starts at an elevation of (-14.5). After each year, the elevation drops by (-1.5). The equation that could be written for this, then, would be (-14.5 - 1.5x = -31). First, we could add 14.5 to both sides of the equation to isolate the unknown. This would leave -1.5x = -16.5. Next, we can remove the negative signs so both sides of the equation are positive and easier to work with. This leaves 1.5x = 16.5. Finally, dividing both sides by 1.5 gives us "x = 11", which means that after 11 years, the canyon floor will be at -31 feet.</span>

A shopkeeper buys two types of tea one at $20 for 10 kg and the other at $23 for 10 kg. He mixes the two types and the mixture i
lorasvet [3.4K]
Let us take the case of first type of tea
Cost of 10 kg of tea one = $20
Then
Cost of 1 kg of tea one = (20/10) dollars
                                     = 2 dollars
Now let us take the case of the second kind of tea
Cost of 10 kg of tea = $23
Then
Cost of 1 kg of tea = (23/10) dollars
                               = 2.3 dollars
So
The mixture of 1 kg of tea one
and 1 kg of second type of tea will cost = (2.0 + 2.3) dollars
                                                                = 4.3 dollars
Then the cost of 2kg mixture of tea costs = 4.3 dollars
So
The cost of 10 kg mixture will cost = (4.3/2) * 10 dollars
                                                         = 4.3 * 5 dollars
                                                        = 21.5 dollars
Then
The amount of profit made by selling 10 kg tea at $38 = (38 - 21.5) dollars
                                                                                       = 16.5 dollars
So
Percentage of profit made = (16.5/21.5) * 100
                                           = 1650/21.5
                                           = 76.74 percent
So the percentage of profit made is 76.74%.

Solve 6n + 10 &lt; 4n + 16
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

n < 3

Step-by-step explanation:

6n + 10 < 4n + 16

( Minus 4n from both sides to isolate + 16 )

2n + 10 < 16

( Minus 10 from both sides to isolate 2n )

2n < 6

( Divide both sides by 2 to isolate n )

n < 3

jason has 150 cents nickels and quarters. if the number of nickels he has is 5 less than the twice the number of quarters, how m
eimsori [14]
Let's set up some simultaneous equations. Let the number of nickels be n, and the number of quarters be q. Now I'm from England so I had to look up the value of a nickel (I could guess the quarter though to be 25c), but apparently it's 5c

Okay we know that the total value of the coins is 150. This gives:

25q + 5n = 150

Rearranging to make n the subject:

n = 30 - 5q

Next, we use the second statement:

n = 2q - 5

Substituting this into the first equation:

2q - 5 = 30 - 5q
7q = 35
q = 5

Putting this value for q into the first equation:

n = 30 - 5(5) = 5

Hence he has 5 of each coin. I hope this helps :)
