Delaney would like to make a 5 lb nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds. She has several pounds of peanuts and several

pounds of a mixture that is 20% peanuts and 80% almonds. Let p represent the number of pounds of peanuts needed to make the new mixture, and let m represent the number of pounds of the 80% almond-20% peanut mixture.
(a) What is the system that models this situation?
(b) Which of the following is a solution to the system: 2 lb peanuts and 3 lb mixture; 2.5 lb peanuts and 2.5 lb mixture; 4 lb peanuts and 1 lb mixture? Show your work.

X and Z equal 72
Y equals 108.

This is because y and 108° are vertex angles meaning they are both equal to each other. X is 72 because it’s form a supplementary angle with 108°. So what I did to find x is I subtracted 108 from 180 to get 72°. Then I know x and z are vertex angles meaning that z is also equal to 72°

Question 14
Reil [10]

Answer:

The system of equations has a one unique solution

Step-by-step explanation:

To quickly determine the number of solutions of a linear system of equations, we need to express each of the equations in slope-intercept form, so we can compare their slopes, and decide:

1) if they intersect at a unique point (when the slopes are different) thus giving a one solution, or

2) if the slopes have the exact  same value giving parallel lines (with no intersections, and the y-intercept is different so there is no solution), or

3) if there is an infinite number of solutions (both lines are exactly the same, that is same slope and same y-intercept)

So we write them in slope -intercept form:

First equation:

6x+y=-1\\y=-6x-1

second equation:

-6x-4y=4\\-6x=4y+4\\-6x-4=4y\\y=-\frac{3}{2} x-1

So we see that their slopes are different (for the first one slope = -6, and for the second one slope= -3/2) and then the lines must intercept in a one unique point. Therefore the system of equations has a one unique solution.
