Answer:
-12, -3/4, -0.4, 0.4, 3/4, 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
18 pounds of cashews are needed.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
A manager bought 12 pounds of peanuts for $30.
Price of peanut per pound P = $30/12 = $2.5
Price of cashew per pound C = $5
Price of mixed nut per pound M = $4
Let x represent the proportion of peanut in the mixed nut.
The proportion of cashew will then be y = (1-x), so;
xP + (1-x)C = M
Substituting the values;
x(2.5) + (1-x)5 = 4
2.5x + 5 -5x = 4
2.5x - 5x = 4 -5
-2.5x = -1
x = 1/2.5 = 0.4
Proportion of cashew is;
y = 1-x = 1-0.4 = 0.6
For 12 pounds of peanut the corresponding pounds of cashew needed is;
A = 12/x × y
A = 12/0.4 × 0.6 = 18 pounds
18 pounds of cashews are needed.
Answer:
x = 3
y = 0
z = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 3x + 3y - z = 1
b) z = 8
c) -x -3y + 2z = 13
a) 3x + 3y - 8 = 1 (substitution)
a) 3x + 3y = 9
c) - x - 3y + 2(8) = 13 (substitution)
c) -x - 3y + 16 = 13
c) -x - 3y = -3
(3x + 3y = 9) + (-x -3y = -3)
= 2x = 6
x = 3
a) 3(3) + 3y - 8 = 1
9 + 3y - 8 = 1
y = (1 -9 + 8)/3
y = 0
