Answer:
Necesitamos agregar 40 libras del café La Finca
Step-by-step explanation:
Sea x el número de libras de café de La Finca a mezclar.
Entonces, la cantidad total de libras que obtendremos en la mezcla será (x + 80) libras.
Ahora trabajemos con los precios; Tenemos x libras de La Finca a $ 5 por libra, con 80 libras de café a $ 2 por libra para dar una mezcla de (x + 80) a $ 3 Así, sumaremos el precio de La Finca más la otra variante para llegar al costo de la nueva mezcla.
Matemáticamente;
5 (x) + 2 (80) = 3 (x + 80)
5x + 160 = 3x + 240
5x -3x = 240-160
2x = 80
x = 80/2 x = 40
A) I would make the positive integer x and then form an equation.
x + 30 = x^2 - 12
x + 42 = x^2
0 = x^2 - x - 42 this can be factorised
(x - 7) ( x + 6) Therefore x = 7 or x = -6
Since the question asks for a positive integer the answer is 7.
B) two positive numbers x and y.
X - y = 3
x^2 + y^2 = 117
Use these simultaneous equations to figure out each number.
Rearrange the first equation
x = y + 3
Then substitute it into the second equation.
(y+3)^2 + y^2 = 117
y^2 + 6y + 9 + y^2 = 117
2y^2 + 6y - 108 = 0
then factorise this.
(2y - 12) (y + 9)
This means that y = 6 or y = -9 but it’s 6 because that’s the only positive number.
Use y to find x
x = y + 3
x = 6 + 3
x = 9
So the answers are x = 9 and y = 6.
49.5
To figure this out you have to multiply the percent times the number but remember to change the percent when multiplying by moving the decimal two places to the right. There fore the equation would be .88•56.25=49.5
