Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

VZ = ZY

2x +2 = 3x -4

6 = x . . . . . . . . add 4-2x to both sides

VZ = 2x +2 = 2(6) +2 = 14

Now we can find VY.

VY = VZ + ZY = 14 + 14 . . . . . . VY is the total of the two halves

VY = 28

60in=60in × (1ft/12in) = 5ft
30in= 30in × (1ft/12in) = 2.5ft
12in = 12in × (1ft/12in) = 1ft
answer is = 5ft × 2.5ft× 1ft =12.5 ft^3 = a

11)
dozen = 12 hammers
12 hammers = 20 pounds
therefore 1 hammer= 20/12 = 1.6666 lb

21 hammers ×1.666 = 35 = c

60 ft × 0.333 yd/ft =20 yd

diameter = 20 yd

Sarah would like to make a 6 lb nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds. She has several pounds of a mixture that is 80%

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

a. The system of equations that models the situation is....

$0.80x+0.50y=3.60\\\\ 0.20x+0.50y=2.40$

b. The solution to the system: x = 2 and y = 4

The amount of 80/20 mixture is 2 pounds and the amount of 50/50 mixture is 4 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, the amount of 80/20 mixture is $x$ pounds and the amount of 50/50 mixture is $y$ pounds.

So, the amount of peanuts in 80/20 mixture $= 0.80x$ pound and the amount of almonds in 80/20 mixture $=0.20x$ pound.

And the amount of peanuts in 50/50 mixture $=0.50y$ pound and the amount of almonds in 50/50 mixture $=0.50y$ pound.

Now, Sarah would like to make a 6 pounds nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds.

So, the amount of peanuts in that mixture $=(6\times 0.60)=3.60$ pounds

and the amount of almonds in that mixture $=(6 \times 0.40)= 2.40$ pounds.

So, the system of equations will be.........

$0.80x+0.50y=3.60 ...................(1)\\\\ 0.20x+0.50y=2.40...................(2)$

Subtracting equation (2) from equation (1), we will get.....

$(0.80x+0.50y)-(0.20x+0.50y)=3.60-2.40\\ \\ 0.60x=1.20\\ \\ x= \frac{1.20}{0.60}=2$

Now, plugging this $x=2$ into equation (1), we will get......

$0.80(2)+0.50y=3.60\\ \\ 1.60+0.50y=3.60\\ \\ 0.50y=3.60-1.60=2\\ \\ y=\frac{2}{0.50}=4$

So, the amount of 80/20 mixture is 2 pounds and the amount of 50/50 mixture is 4 pounds.
