Answer: a. The system that models this situation is,

x + y = 6 , 8 x + 5 y = 36.

b. Solution is x = 2lb and y = 4lb

where x is the quantity of 80% of peanuts mixture mix with y quantity of 50% of peanuts mixture for making 60% of peanuts mixture.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x quantity of 80% of peanuts mixture mix with y quantity of 50% of peanuts mixture for making 60% of peanuts mixture.

Then According to the question,

x + y = 6      --------- (1)

And, 80 % of x + 50 % of y = 60 % of 6

⇒ 0.8 x + 0.5 y = 3.6

⇒ 8 x + 5 y = 36  --------- (2)

Where equation 1) and equation 2) are the required equation which models the given situation.

Now, 8 × equation 1)

We get, 8 x + 8 y = 48 ----------(3)

equation (3) - equation (2)

we get, 3 y = 12

⇒ y = 4

By putting the value of y in equation (2)

we get, x = 2

Thus, he mixed 2 lb of mixture 80/20  and 4 lb of mixture 50/50 for making 6 lb of 50/50 mixture.

Please help with these math questions
Tanya [424]
1.
a^2+b^2=c^2
easy
a=a
b=13
c=21
a^2+13^2=21^2
a^2+169=441
minus 169 both sides
a^2=272
sqrt both sides
a=16.4924
D is answer



2. same thing
a=18
b=26
18^2+26^2=c^2
324+676=c^2
1000=c^2
sqrt both sides
31.6228=c
C is answer



3.
one way is to plug them in
remember that hypotonuse is longest side
A. 7^2+24^2=25^2, is that true?, yes it is treu
answer is A



4.
legs are 6 and 4
a=6
b=4
c=x
4^2+6^2=x^2
16+36=x^2
52=x^2
sqrt both sides
7.2111=x
7.2=x



5.c=20
a=x
b=14

x^2+14^2=20^2
x^2+196=400
minus 196 both sides
x^2=204
sqrt both sides
x=14.2829
x=14.3




1. D
2. C
3. A
