Answer:

g+300-700-700=1500, g=2600

Step-by-step explanation:

At the start of the day there are g pounds of gravel in the quarry.

Then it says that there were 300 pounds added to the mound, so at this point the pounds of gravel in the mound are now g+300.

Then two orders of 700 pounds are sold and removed from the mound. That means they removed 700 pounds from the mound 2 times. Therefore at this point the pounds of gravel in the mound are now g+300-700-700.

Then it says that at this point, the amount of pounds in the mound are 1500.  Hence we get

g+300-700-700=1500

To solve for g we just add 700 two times to both sides of the equation, and subtract 300 from both sides of the equation, getting:

g+300-700-700+700+700-300=1500+700+700-300

And so g=2600

B. Find the value of X. Show your work, I’m not sure how to do this
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

63°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of all interior angles of a triangle = 180°

Therefore:

x + 96° + 21° = 180°

x + 117 = 180

Subtract 117 from each side

x = 180 - 117

x = 63°

The nut shack sells cashews for $6.00 per pound and Brazil nuts for $5.00 per pound. How much of each type should be used to mak
Kay [80]

Answer:

Number of pounds of cashews = x = 14.96 pounds

Number of pounds of Brazil nuts = y = 19.04 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent:

Number of pounds of cashews = x

Number of pounds of Brazil nuts = y

The nut shack sells cashews for $6.00 per pound and Brazil nuts for $5.00 per pound. How much of each type should be used to make a 34 pound mixture that sells for $5.44 per pound

Our system of equations is given as:

x + y = 34...... Equation 1

x = 34 - y

6x + 5y = 34 × 5.44

6x + 5y = 184.96.......Equation 2

Ww substitute : 34 - y for x in Equation 2

6(34 - y) + 5y = 184.96

204 - 6y + 5y = 184.96

Collect like terms

- 6y + 5y = 184.96 - 204

-y = -19.04

y = 19.04 pounds

Solving for x

x = 34 - y

x = 34 - 19.04

x = 14.96 pounds

Number of pounds of cashews = x = 14.96 pounds

Number of pounds of Brazil nuts = y = 19.04 pounds
