Let C be the amount of compost
T be the amount of topsoil
Each compost cost = $25
Cost of C compost = 25C
Each topsoil cost = $15
Cost of T topsoil = 15T
Amount of compost + amount of topsoil = 10
C + T = 10 -------> Equation 1
cost of C compost + cost of T topsoil = 180
25C + 15T = 180 --------> equation 2
Solve the first equation for C
C + T = 10
C = 10 - T
Now plug it in second equation
25C + 15T = 180
25 ( 10 - T) +15T = 180
250 - 25T + 15T = 180 (combine like terms)
250 - 10 T = 180 (Subtract 250 on both sides)
-10T = 180 - 250
-10T = -70 ( divide by -10 on both sides)
T = 7
She purchased 7 cubic yards of topsoil .
The answer to this question is
x= -2 y= 4
Answer:
A) Not mutually exclusive
Step-by-step explanation:
Given



Required
Determine if they are mutually exclusive or not
Mutually exclusive are defined by:

So, we have:

Take LCM


By comparing:
---- Calculated
---- Given
We can conclude that A and B are not mutually exclusive because:

1.04 kilograms
1 gram = .001 kilogram
2x520= 1040
1040 x .001 = 1.04 kilograms
