Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
24 pounds of Rift Valley coffee
26 pounds of Mexican Shade Grown coffee
Step-by-step explanation:
If R is pounds of Rift Valley coffee, and M is pounds of Mexican Shade Grown coffee, then:
R + M = 50
12.10 R + 13.10 M = 12.62 (50)
Substitute:
12.10 R + 13.10 (50 − R) = 12.62 (50)
12.10 R + 655 − 13.10 R = 631
R = 24
M = 26
With the facts you got here, you can make the following equation:
x*(x+2)=24
x^2+2x=24
x^2+2x-24=0
Then you can use the following formula (which you might have seen before):
x = (-b +/- sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a
where
ax^2+bx+c=0
(-2 +/- sqrt(4+96))/2
(-2 +/- 10)/2
x_1 = 4
x_2 = -6
