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

There are 23 animals in the barn. Some are geese and some are cows. There are 80 legs in all. How many of each animal are there?
Ivan

Answer:

17 cows and 6 geese

Step-by-step explanation:

1. set up two equations:

C + G = 23 (number of cows and geese = total number of animals)

4C + 2G = 80 (cows have 4 legs, geese have 2 legs and the total # of legs is 80)

2. 2(C+G)=2(23) ===> 2C + 2G = 46

3. subtract 4C + 2G = 80 and 2C + 2G = 46 to equal 2C=34, divide by 2 and C=17 (17 cows)

4. apply 17 back to the original (C + G = 23) equation to get: 17 + G = 23, subtract 17 from 23 and G=6 (6 geese)

i hope the way i explained it was clear! :)
