Kevin sold 10 pounds of apples and 20 pounds of raspberries.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost per pound of apples = $3.50

Cost per pound of raspberries = $4

Total amount earned = $115

Let,

x represent the pounds of apples sold

y represent the pounds of raspberries sold

According to given statement;

3.50x+4y=115     Eqn 1

y = 2x                  Eqn 2

Putting value of y from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

3.50x+4(2x)=115\\3.50x+8x=115\\11.50x=115

Dividing both sides by 11.50

\frac{11.50x}{11.50}=\frac{115}{11.50}\\x=10

Putting x=10 in Eqn 2

y=2(10)\\y=20

Kevin sold 10 pounds of apples and 20 pounds of raspberries.

Please help me ASAP!!! could someone help me do my geometry?

Answer:

9. m(YZ) = 102°

10. m(JKL) = 192°

11. m<GHF = 75°

Step-by-step explanation:

9. First, find the value of x

4x + 3 = 3x + 15 (inscribed angle that are subtended by the same arc are equal based on the inscribed angle theorem)

Collect like terms

4x - 3x = -3 + 15

x = 12

4x + 3 = ½(m(YZ)) (inscribed angle of a circle = ½ the measure of the intercepted arc)

Plug in the value of x

4(12) + 3 = ½(m(YZ))

48 + 3 = ½(m(YZ))

51 = ½(m(YZ))

Multiply both sides by 2

51*2 = m(YZ)

102 = m(YZ)

m(YZ) = 102°

10. First, find the value of x.

7x + 5 + 6x + 6 = 180° (opposite angles in an inscribed quadrilateral are supplementary)

Add like terms

13x + 11 = 180

13x = 180 - 11

13x = 169

x = 169/13

x = 13

7x + 5 = ½(m(JKL)) (inscribed angle of a circle = ½ the measure of the intercepted arc)

Plug in the value of x

7(13) + 5 = ½(m(JKL))

96 = ½(m(JKL))

Multiply both sides by 2

2*96 = m(JKL)

m(JKL) = 192°

11. First, find x.

5x + 15 = ½(11x + 18) (inscribed angle of a circle = ½ the measure of the intercepted arc)

Multiply both sides by 2

2(5x + 15) = 11x + 18

10x + 30 = 11x + 18

Collect like terms

10x - 11x = -30 + 18

-x = -12

Divide both sides by -1

x = 12

m<GHF = 5x + 15

Plug in the value of x

m<GHF = 5(12) + 15

m<GHF = 60 + 15

m<GHF = 75°

Solve for b: 2(b + 3) = b – 4
Reil [10]

Answer:

b = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

2(b + 3) = b – 4

2b + 6 = b - 4

-b             -b

b + 6 = -4

     -6    -6

b = -10
