Let c represent the weight of cashews and p the weight of pecans.
Then c + 10 = total weight of the nut mixture.
An equation for the value of the mixture follows:
$1.50(10 lb) + $0.75c = (c+10)($1.00)
Solve this equation for c: 15 + .75c = c + 10. Subtract .75c from both sides:
15 = 1c - 0.75c + 10. Then 5=0.25c, and c = 5/0.25, or 20.
Need 20 lb of cashews.
Check: the pecans weigh 10 lb and are worth $1.50 per lb, so the total value of the pecans is $15. The total value of the cashews is (20 lb)($0.75/lb), or $15. Does (20 lb + 10 lb)($1/lb) = $15 + $15? Yes. So c= 20 lb is correct.
In the secant secant theorem,
AP × BP = CP × DP
AP × 6 = 7 × 12
AP = 7 × 2 = 14
Answer: 14
The answer is 47. Just keep adding 4.
Answer:A. 10x. B. -2yz
Step-by-step explanation:
A. 4x+7x=11x
11x+(-x) = 11x-1x=10x
B. -5yz+yz=-4yz
-4yz+2yz=-2yz
Answer:
a 72
Step-by-step explanation:
9x10=90, so in total he has 90 pencils. if he loses 18 of them that's 90-18 which is 72.
