You have 2 different perfumes at 2 different prices that you have to mix to get a total of 3 ounces of a new perfume. A's amount of perfume needed is x, so B's amount of perfume needed is 3-x (cuz you can only have a total of 3 ounces). The amount A costs per ounce is 15 and the amount that B costs per ounce is 35. So multiply each amount by what it costs, add those together and set them equal to 63 (cuz your equation is based on money). 15x + 35(3 - x) = 63. Distribute the 35 into the parenthesis to get 15x + 105 - 35x = 63. Combine the x terms and move the 105 and solve for x to get that x = 2.1 ounces. You need 2.1 ounces of A and 1.5 ounces of B to get what you want.

I will make u the BRAINLIEST pls answer my question and explain!!!

The azalea is located at point (4, -4). You have already plotted the hydrangea at (4, 6). If you count up the number of squares from the hydrangea to the azalea plant, you will get a distance of 10. 

Since the problem tells you the length of each square is 1 ft, then you know that the distance between the two plants is 10 squares * 1 ft/square = 10ft.

The graph below shows the distance, y, in miles, of a bird from its nest for a certain amount of time, x, in minutes:
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

0.2 miles per minute represents the speed of the bird and 3 miles represents the original distance of the bird from its nest.

Step-by-step explanation:

As there is no graph mentioned here but the information are quite sufficient to answer the question.

We have points (0,3), (5,4),(10,5)...

From these points we can find the slope of the line .

From point slope formula y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

And assigning (x,y) (0,3) and (x_1,y_1) (5,4)

m=\frac{y_1-y}{x_1-x} =\frac{4-3}{5-0} =\frac{1}{5}=0.2

This slope is also the speed of the bird which is 0.2\ miles\ per\ minute.

As by plugging the values of any coordinate point we can confirm this.

Lets put (10,5), y-axis is the distance so in 10 minutes the the distance covered by the bird must be equal to to y-axis value which is 5 miles.

y=0.2(x),y=0.2(10)=5\ miles

Now as in t=0 the bird has started from y-intercept value 3 so we can say that,the original distance of the bird from its nest is 3\ miles.

So the correct choices are:B and D

The birds speed is 0.2\ miles per minute and is 3\ miles away from its nest.

alexdok [17]

<span>There are lots of given in this certain item and we are to note that other given are just there to distract us. In order to answer the question, what we really need from the given is that there are 480 copies of books and they arrived in 5 cartons. To determine the number of books in each carton, we just have to divide 480 by 5 which gives us an answer of 96. </span>
