Answer:

  • chocolate: 6 pounds
  • jelly: 4 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of chocolate in the mix. Then the total price of 10 pounds of mix is ...

  10x +5(10 -x) = 80

  5x +50 = 80

  5x = 30

  x = 6 . . . . . . . . pounds of chocolate

  10 -x = 4 . . . . . pounds of jelly candy

6 pounds of chocolate and 4 pounds of jelly should be used to make the mixture.

Write a vector equation of the line that passes through p(–1 6) and is parallel to a = (3, -1).
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

(x,y) = p + t(a)

(x,y) = (-1,6) + t(3,-1)

(x,y) - (-1,6) = t(3,-1)

(x + 1, y - 6) = t(3, -1)
