\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&amount&price&cost\\
&-----&-----&-----\\
\textit{\$7/lb coffee}&x&7&7x\\
\textit{\$4/lb coffee}&y&4&4y\\
-----&-----&-----&-----\\
blend&14&5&14\cdot 5
\end{array}

so.. whatever "x" and "y" amounts are, we know that, added together, they must yield 14lbs
thus   x + y = 14

and whatever the cost of each is, 7x + 4y must be 14*5

7x+4y = 70
thus      \bf \begin{cases}
x+y=14\to \boxed{y}=14-x\\\\
7x+4y=70\\
----------\\
7x+4\left(  \boxed{14-x}\right)=70
\end{cases}

solve for "x", to see how much of the $7/lb type will be needed

what about the $4/lb one?   well, y = 14 - x

Michael, Nate, Ben, and Andrew are running a relay race. In order to complete the race, they must run exactly 4 laps. Since Mich
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

Andrew must run 1 5/12 Laps to complete the race.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total lap run by Michael, Nate, Ben, and Andrew = 4 laps

laps run by Michael = 1 1/3 laps =(3+1)/3 =  4/3 laps

laps run by Nate =1/2 laps

laps run by ben =3/4 laps

Let laps run by Andrew = x

therefore

laps run by Michael + laps run by Nate + laps run by ben + laps run by Andrew = 4 laps

4/3 + 1/2 + 3/4 + x = 4

LCM of 3,2 and 4 is 12

=> (4*4 + 6*1 + 3*3+12x)/12 = 4

=> (16+6+9+12x)/12 = 4

=> 31+12x = 12*4 = 48

=> 12x = 48-31= 17

=> x = 17/12 = 1 5/12

Thus, Andrew must run 1 5/12 Laps to complete the race.

Which mathematical law or property is used to rewrite the following expression?
ra1l [238]
<h3>Answer: Commutative Property Of Addition</h3>

Explanation:

This property is where we have A+B = B+A. In other words, adding two numbers can be done in any order. This can be extended to more than two values also.

So, 4+6 = 6+4 since both sides result in 10.

Overall it leads to 2+(4+6) = 2+(6+4) being a true equation as well. Both sides simplify to 12.

A local charity sponsors a 5K race to raise money. It receives $25 per race entry and $5,000 in donations, but it must spend $5
Katena32 [7]
<span>The charity needs at least 1001 entries to raise more than $25000. Let n be the number of race entries, i be the income of the race, and c the cost of the race. The money that the 5K brings in is given by i = 25 * n + 5000 The cost is given by c = n * 5 Now if the charity needs to raise more than 25000 then the income minus the cost must be greater than 25000. 25000 < i - c subsituting for i and c 25000 < i - c = (25 * n + 5000 ) - (5 * n) simplifying results in 25000 < 25*n - 5*n + 5000 25000 < 20*n + 5000 20000 < 20*n 1000 < n The number of entries must be greater than 1000. Since entries must be an integer the charity needs at least 1001 entries.</span>

A horse trainer uses circular pens that are 35ft, 50ft and 66 ft in diameter find the area of each pen
Anika [276]
Use the formula to find the area of a circle: Area = pi times radius squared

Divide each diameter by 2 to get the radius

Ex) 50/2=25
A= pi times 25 squared
25^2=625
A= 625 times pi
A=2,587.5

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

about 4.17 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the time for each class, you do 2.5 hours divided by 3. Then you take this value and multiply by 5 since there are 5 classes. After you do this, you should get 4.17 hours roughly.
