Answer:
51 74
Step-by-step explanation:
x = smaller
x +23 = larger
added together (x + x+23) equal to 28 less than 3x = 3x-28
x + x+23 = 3x-28 subtract 2x from both sides of the equation
23 = x -28 add 28 to both sides
51 = x then the larger = 51 + 23 = 74
Im actually pretty sure its C because 4 to the power of 2 is 16 and then add those too up 16+25=41
1/2 * 5 = 2.5.
You would need 2.5 boxes to build 5 birdhouses.
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
