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

8/3 = 3 (c + 5/3) how to solve step by step
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

8/3=3(c+5/3)

multiply both sides by 3

8=9(c+5/3)

divide both sides by 9

8/9=c+5/3

subtract 5/3 from both sides

c=8/9-5/3

change 5/3 to 15/9

c=8/9-15/9

c=-7/9
