Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a system of equations. The 2 equations are:

4c + 2p = 16

2c + 3p = 12

Let's get rid of the p's first. Do this by multiplying the first equation by -3 and the second equation by 2 to get a new system that looks like this:

-12x - 6p = -48

4c + 6p = 24

Now add to get

-8c = -24 and

c = 3

That means that chocolate is $3 per pound. Now sub that back in to either one of the original equations to get the price for peanuts:

4(3) + 2p = 16 and

12 + 2p = 16 and

2p = 4 so

p = 2

The price for peanuts is $2 per pound.

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given values

The possible logic could be

if x.y is given

then it is equal to $=\frac{(x+y)\times x}{y-3}$

For 1st example

3.4 $=\frac{(3+4) \times 3}{4-3} =\frac{21}{1} =21$

For 2nd example

2.5 $=\frac{(2+5) \times 2}{5-3} =\frac{7 \times 2}{2} =7$

⇒4.4 $=\frac{(4+4)\times 4}{4-3} =32$

Solve for x -9<4x+3<27 enter your answer as one inequality in the box

ludmilkaskok [199]

If a< c< b then a<c and c<b

Separate the equation into 2 separate ones and solve them:

X-9 < 4x +3

Subtract 3 from both sides:

X-12 < 4x

Subtract x from both sides:

-12< 3x

Divide both sides by 3:

X > -4

4x+3 < 27

Subtract 3 from both sides

4x < 24

Divide both sides by 4

X <6

Combine to get one inequality:

-4<x<6

Answer:

x = 350 gallons (amt of 60% solution that must be added)

Step-by-step explanation:

Amt of 60% solution = x gallons ; Amt of active ingredient = 0.6x gallons

Amt of 15% solution = 100 gallons ; Amt of active ingredient = 15 gallons

Amt of 50% solution = 100+x gallons ; Amt of active = 50 + 0.5x gallons

EQUATION:

Active ingredient: 0.60x + 15 = 50 + 0.50x

0.10x = 35

x = 350 gallons (amt of 60% solution that must be added)
