X = price of the ingredients

so based on the proportion , we can write that :
Almonds needed = x     =                    $ 12 x
peanut needed   =  2x   = 2x * $ 8     =  $ 16x
raisins needed     = 3x  =  3x * $6      =  $ 18x

Equation = 
12x + 16x + 18x  ≤  $ 23

46x                  =     $23

x    =  $ 0.5

The pound of mix he can made :

0.5 * 1 pound of almond  + 0.5 x  * 2 pound of peanuts + 0.5 * 3 pound of raisins

= 3 Pound of mix

Write as many equations as possible that could represent the relationship between the ages of the two children in each family de
Daniel [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Here we have:

"In Family A, the youngest child is 7 years younger than the oldest, who is 18"

Let's define:

Y = age of the youngest child.

O = age of the oldest child.

Then we know that:

Y = O - 7

O = 18

Then we can replace the second equation into the first one:

Y = 18 - 7 = 11.

b) Here we have:

"In Family B, the middle child is 5 years older than the youngest child."

Let's define:

Y = age of the youngest child.

M = age of the middle child.

Here we have only one equation:

M = Y + 5.

7x + y when x = 2 and y= 6 evaluate the expression
Maslowich

To solve the expression 7x + y we can substitute x with 2 and y with 6.

= 7(2) + 6

= 14 + 6

= 20

Best of Luck!

Lines c and d are parallel lines cut by transversal p.
bearhunter [10]
First, let's start off, let us define what are corresponding angles. When a transversal, which is a line that passes through two parallel lines, then the angles in the same corners are congruent.

Using this definition, the angles ∠2 is congruent to ∠6.
