Your rows would be $0.90 Chocolate, $1.20 Chocolate, and the Total Chocolate Mix, and your columns would be the Amount of Chocolate in #s and the Total Costs

(This is the best I can do coming up with a grid)

________________amt (#)_________total costs

$0.90_____________10______________9.00

$1.20______________x______________1.20x

 

Total Mix_________10+x_____________9+1.2x

Using this grid, you see that 10+x=9+1.2x so solve for x

10+x -x=9+1.2x -x

10=9+.2x

10 -9=9+.2x -9

1=.2x

1/.2=(.2x)/.2

x=5, so you need 5lbs of the $1.20 chocolate to produce a mixture worth $1.00

What property was used to rewrite the polynomial expression (x+5)+3(a+(6x)y) to 5+(x+3a+(18x)y)
Umnica [9.8K]
<span>3(a+(6x)y) was clearly multiplied out as seen by the 3a and 18xy, so the distributive property was used there. In addition, the commutative and associative properties state that you can rearrange sums, so those were used too </span><span />

What is the rule for the given sequence? 3, 8, 23, 68, 203,
EleoNora [17]

Answer: Add the number previously added multiplied by 3;

+3x, where x is the number that was added previously

Step-by-step explanation:

3+5=8. That's the first equation, where 5 is x. Then the next equation, 8+3x=23. 8+15=23. It works for all of the equations, so that's the pattern.
