Answer:

78 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say Yolanda makes a pounds of Type A coffee and b pounds of Type B coffee. Since the total number of pounds is 130, we can write the equation:

a + b = 130

We know the cost of Type A coffee is $5.20/lb and the cost of Type B coffee is $4.05/lb, so since the total cost is $586.30, we can write:

5.20a + 4.05b = 586.30

We can now solve the system of equations:

a + b = 130

5.20a + 4.05b = 586.30

Manipulate the first equation by subtracting b from both sides:

a + b = 130

a = 130 - b

Substitute 130 - b for a in the second equation:

5.20a + 4.05b = 586.30

5.20 * (130 - b) + 4.05b = 586.30

676 - 5.20b + 4.05b = 586.30

Move the terms with b to one side:

1.15b = 89.70

b = 78

Thus, Yolanda used 78 pounds of Type B coffee.

Given the equation 5 + x - 14 = x - 7.
Yanka [14]

Answer:

x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

combine like terms on both sides of the equal sign

-9+x= x-7

move similar terms to the same side

-2=0x

divide both sides by x

x=0

Please help Which of the following inequalities is graphed on the coordinate plane?
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The inequality which represents the graph is y ≤ -2x + 1 ⇒ A

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question you must know some facts about inequalities

  • If the sign of inequality is ≥ or ≤, then it represents graphically by a solid line
  • If the sign of inequality is > or <, then it represents graphically by a dashed line
  • If the sign of inequality is > or ≥, then the area of the solutions should be over the line
  • If the sign of inequality is < or ≤, then the area of the solutions should be below the line

Let us study the graph and find the correct answer

∵ The line represented the inequality is solid

∴ The sign of inequality is ≥ or ≤

→ That means the answer is A or B

∵ The shaded area is the area of the solutions of the inequality

∵ The shaded area is below the line

∴ The sign of inequality must be ≤

→ That means the correct answer is A

∴ The inequality which represents the graph is y ≤ -2x + 1

How do I solve this??
WITCHER [35]

v + 9 / 3 = 8

v + 9 = 24

v = 24 - 9

v = 15

If you have any questions on how I got to this solution, please ask. :)
