Answer:

Ground Chicory = 7 pounds and Jamaican Blue Mountain = 5 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Joseph would like to make 12 pounds of a coffee blend at a cost of $6.25 per pound.

Total cost of 12 pounds of coffee blend = 6.25 × 12 = $75

Ground Chicory = $4.40 per pound

Jamaican Blue Mountain = $8.84 per pound

Total weight of coffee blend = 12 pounds

Total amount of coffee blend = $75

Let the weight of Chicory be 'x'

The weight of Blue mountain be (12 - x)

75 = 4.40x + 8.84(12-x)

75 = 4.40x + 106.08 + - 8.84x

75 = (4.40x +-8.84x) + 106.08

75 = - 4.44x + 106.08

-4.44x = 75 - 106.08

-4.44x = -31.08

x = 7 pounds

and (12 - x) = 12 - 7 = 5 pounds

Therefore, Ground Chicory would be used 7 pounds and Jamaican Blue Mountain would be used 5 pounds.

What is one of the solutions to the following equations? y2+x2=53<br> Y-x=5
Olenka [21]
(1)  y² + x² = 53
(2)  y - x = 5 ⇒ y = x + 5

subtitute (2) to (1)

(x + 5)² + x² = 53      |use (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²

x² + 2x·5 + 5² + x² = 53

2x² + 10x + 25 = 53     |subtract 53 from both sides

2x² + 10x - 28 =0     |divide both sides by 2

x² + 5x - 14 = 0

x² - 2x+ 7x - 14 = 0

x(x - 2) + 7(x - 2) = 0

(x - 2)(x + 7) = 0 ⇔ x - 2 = 0 or x + 7 = 0 ⇔ x = 2 or x = -7

subtitute the values of y to (2)

for x = 2, y = 5 + 2 = 7
for x = -7, y = 5 + (-7) = 5 - 2 = 3

Answer: x = 2 and y = 7 or x = -7 and y = 3

At any point in time, there could be bicycles, tricycles, and
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

There may be 1 or 3 tricycles in the parking lot.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since at any point in time, there could be bicycles, tricycles, and cars in the school parking lot, and today, there are 53 wheels in total, if there are 15 bicycles, tricycles, and cars in total, to determine how many tricycles could be in the parking lot, the following calculation must be performed:

13 x 4 + 1 x 3 + 1 x 2 = 57

11 x 4 + 1 x 3 + 3 x 2 = 53

10 x 4 + 3 x 3 + 2 x 2 = 53

8 x 4 + 5 x 3 + 2 x 2 = 51

10 x 2 + 1 x 3 + 4 x 4 = 39

9 x 3 + 1 x 2 + 5 x 4 = 49

Therefore, there may be 1 or 3 tricycles in the parking lot.
