So 22.5 per barrel



so 22.5
x represents the number of 22.5 barrels

y represents the number of 35 barrels

so
x+y=1250

then find the total cost
1250 barrels
27.5 per so mutiply by 1250 and get 34375 total cost

22.5x+35y=34375

we have 2 senctances
x+y=1250
22.5x+35y=34375

elimination
mulitply first equation by -35 to clear y
-35x-35y=-43750
add to second equation
-35x-35y=-43750
<u>22.5x+35y=34375    +</u>
-12.5x+0y=-9375
-12.5x=-9375
multiply -1
12.5x=9375
divie both sides by 12.5
x=750


subsitute
x+y=1250
750+y=1250
subtract 750
y=500


750 barrells of the 22.5 oil should be included and
500 barrells of the 35 oil should be included

mariarad [96]

Answer:

2.92

Step-by-step explanation:

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \\ \\ 105=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \\ \\ r^3=\frac{105}{\frac{4}{3}\pi} \\ \\ r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{105}{\frac{4}{3}\pi}}  \\ \\ r \approx 2.92

Write the slope intercept form of the equation given the point (-2,4) and a slope of 3
Hitman42 [59]

Given the points:

(x, y) ==> (-2, 4)

slope, m = 3

To write the slope intercept form, use the form below:

y = mx + b

Where m = slope and b = y-intercept.

Now, substitute -2 for x, 4 for y, and m for 3 in the equation above to solve for b.

We have:

y = mx + b

4 = 3(-2) + b

4 = -6 + b

Add 6 to both sides:

4 + 6 = -6 + 6 + b

10 = b

b = 10

Therefore, the slope intercept form of the equation is:

y = 3x + 10

ANSWER:

y = 3x + 10
