Answer:

  90 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of $20 coffee in the mix. Then the cost of the mix is ...

  20x + 60·30 = 30(30+x)

  20x + 1800 = 900 +30x . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  900 = 10x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 900+20x

  90 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 10

90 pounds of $20 coffee should be used.

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

the 3 sides of the triangle are 105 ft, 40 ft and 70 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

the perimeter is the sum of the 3 sides of the triangle

add the parts of the ratio 21 + 8 + 14 = 43

divide the perimeter by 43 to find the value of one part of the ratio

= 5 ft ← 1 part of the ratio, hence

21 parts = 21 × 5 = 105 ft

8 parts = 8 × 5 = 40 ft

14 parts = 14 × 5 = 70 ft

the 3 sides of the triangle are 105 ft, 40 ft and 70 ft
