6 feet * 7 feet = 42 feet²

18 feet * 21 feet = 378 feet²

42 feet²  was painted for $52

1 feet²  will be painted for $52/42

378 feet² will then be painted for:  ($52/42) * 378

                                                       = $468

Hence 18 feet by 21 feet will be painted for $468

Hope this helps.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

System

  • p + m = 10
  • 0.8m = 0.4·10

Solution

  • p = m = 5 — 5 lb peanuts and 5 lb mixture
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

(a) Generally, the equations of interest are one that models the total amount of mixture, and one that models the amount of one of the constituents (or the ratio of constituents). Here, there are two constituents and we are given the desired ratio, so three different equations are possible describing the constituents of the mix.

For the total amount of mix:

... p + m = 10

For the quantity of peanuts in the mix:

... p + 0.2m = 0.6·10

For the quantity of almonds in the mix:

... 0.8m = 0.4·10

For the ratio of peanuts to almonds:

... (p +0.2m)/(0.8m) = 0.60/0.40

Any two (2) of these four (4) equations will serve as a system of equations that can be used to solve for the desired quantities. I like the third one because it is a "one-step" equation.

So, your system of equations could be ...

  • p + m = 10
  • 0.8m = 0.4·10

___

(b) Dividing the second equation by 0.8 gives

... m = 5

Using the first equation to find p, we have ...

... p + 5 = 10

... p = 5

5 lb of peanuts and 5 lb of mixture are required.

A series contains 18 numbers and has a sum of 4,185. The last number of the series is 275. What is the first number?
N76 [4]
If the series is made up of numbers in an arithmetic progression, you have

\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{18}a_n=\sum_{n=1}^{18}(a_1+(n-1)d)=18a_1+153d=4185

where a_1 is the first term and d is the common difference between terms.

Since the last term in the series is a_{18}=275, you have

a_{18}=a_1+(18-1)d\implies a_1+17d=275

Solve the system

\begin{cases}18a_1+153d=4185\\a_1+17d=275\end{cases}

and you'll find that the first term is a_1=190 (with d=5).
