Marcelina uses a blend of white corn and yellow corn to make tortilla chips at her restaurant. She needs to buy 50kg of corn in
total for her next order. White corn costs $0.30 per kilogram, yellow corn costs $0.15 per kilogram, and she wants to spend $12 dollars total. Here's a graph that shows a system of equations for this scenario where x is the amount of white corn she buys and y is the amount of yellow corn she buys.

Answer:
Option D. Marcelina spends less that the intended amount of money and buy less than enough corn
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x----> is the amount of white corn she buys
y ---> is the amount of yellow corn she buys
we know that
She needs to buy 50 kg of corn in total
so
----> equation A
She wants to spend $12 dollars total
so
----> equation B
The solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs
The solution is the point (30,20)
That means
Marcelina needs to buy 30 kg of white corn and 20 kg of yellow corn
we have the ordered pair F(15.15)
That means
15 kg of white corn and 15 kg of yellow corn
therefore
Total kg of corn bought is
Total spend is
therefore
Marcelina spends less that the intended amount of money and buy less than enough corn

<h3>Answer: roughly 12.6274 meters</h3>
The more accurate value is 12.6274169979696, though it's not fully exact.
Round this however you need to.
The exact distance 32*sin(45) - 10 meters.
===========================================================
Explanation:
Refer to the diagram below.
I'll use point A in place of point O since the letter 'oh' is very similar looking to the number zero.
Plot point A at the origin (0,0). While at point A, look directly north. Then turn 30 degrees eastward to look at the bearing 030°. Next, move 20 meters along that bearing direction to arrive at point R. Segment AR is 20 meters long.
In the diagram, note how angle RAB is 30 degrees. The side opposite this is BR = m.
We can use the sine ratio to say that
sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse
sin(A) = BR/AR
sin(30) = m/20
m = 20*sin(30)
m = 10
-----------------------------------
While still at point A, look directly north and turn 135 degrees clockwise (ie toward the east) and move 32 meters along that bearing. You'll arrive at point S as the diagram shows.
Notice how
angle RAB + angle RAC + angle CAS = 30+60+45 = 135
The remaining angle DAS is 180-135 = 45 degrees.
When focusing on triangle DAS, we can say
sin(A) = DS/AS
sin(45) = n/32
n = 32*sin(45)
n = 22.6274169979696
This value is approximate.
----------------------------------
Subtract the values of m and n
n - m = 32*sin(45) - 10 = exact distance
n - m = 22.6274169979696 - 10
n - m = 12.6274169979696
n - m = 12.6274 = approximate distance
Round it however you need to. I'm choosing to round to four decimal places.
So we see that point S is roughly 12.6274 meters east of point R.
If your teacher wants the exact distance, then stick with 32*sin(45)-10.
