Answer:

type of nut = 10.

Different type of nut = 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 pound = $5.37

24 pound = 5.37 * 24

= $128.88.

Let X be the type of nut and Y be the different one.

Value of the nuts in dollars,

i. 7X + 4.2Y = 128.88

Weight of the nuts in pounds,

ii. X + Y = 24

Rearranging ii,

X = 24 - Y inputting into i,

7(24 - Y) + 4.2Y = 128.88

168 - 7Y + 4.2Y = 128.88

2.8Y = 39.12

Y = 14

Inputting the value of Y into ii,

X = 24 - 14

= 10

Answer:

a type nut is 10 pounds

a different one is 14 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

let a type of the nut be represented by t

Let a different one be represented by d

a type of nut cost $7 per pound

a different one cost $4.20 per pound

The cost of the mixture for 24 pounds = 5.37 * 24

= $128.88

t + d = 24 ........(1)

7t + 4.2d = 128.88 ..........(2)

From equation (1), t = 24 - d

Put t = 24 - d in equation 2

7(24 - d) + 4.2d = 128.88

168 - 7d + 4.2d = 128.88

168 - 2.8d = 128.88

-2.8d = 128.88 - 168

-2.8d = -39.12

d = -39.12 / -2.8

d= 13.97

d = 14 pounds

t = 24 - d

t = 24 - 14

t = 10 pounds

A type nut is 10 pounds. A different one is 14 pounds

Tell me a fun fact about horses will give BRAINLIEST to whoever tells me something I don’t know (I have been riding for 12 years
Nonamiya [84]

Here are a few fun facts:

A 19th century horse named 'Old Billy' is said to have lived 62 years.

Horses can sleep both lying down and standing up.

Horses can run shortly after birth.

Horses have around 205 bones in their skeleton.

Horses have been domesticated for over 5000 years.

Horses use their ears, eyes and nostrils to express their mood.

Because horse’s eyes are on the side of their head they are capable of seeing nearly 360 degrees at one time.

The fastest recorded sprinting speed of a horse was 88 kph (55 mph). Most gallop at around 44 kph or 27 mph.

The Przewalski’s horse is the only truly wild horse species still in existence. The only wild population is in Mongolia. There are however numerous populations across the world of feral horses e.g. mustangs in North America.

I hope you learned something new!

Jason wants to walk the shortest distance to get from the parking lot to the beach. a.How far is the spot on the beach from the
lara31 [8.8K]

3 RIGHT TRIANGLES

1 big right triangle is divided into 2 smaller ones. Medium and small.

<span> a.How far is the spot on the beach from the parking lot? </span>

Medium triangle: long leg = 32 m ; short leg = x

Small triangle: long leg = x ; short leg = 18m

32/x = x/18

32*18 = x*x

576 = x²

√576 = √x²

24 = x    

Parking lot to the beach is 24 meters.

<span>b. How far will he have to walk from the parking lot to get to the refreshment stand?</span>

Use Pythagorean theorem:

Medium triangle: long leg = 32 m ; short leg = 24 m ; hypotenuse = ?

32²+ 24² = c²

1024 + 576 = c²

1600 = c²

√1600 = √c²

40 m = c

Parking lot to refreshment stand is 40 meters.
