Given that total number of pounds of grass seed needed = 9

Let number of pounds of Bermuda seeds used = x

Let number of pounds of Fescue seeds used = y

Then sum of both gives equation:

x+y=9

or y=9-x...(i)


Given that cost of 1 pound of Bermuda seed = $4.80

Then cost of x pound of Bermuda seed = $4.80x


Given that cost of 1 pound of Fescue seed = $3.50

Then cost of y pound of Fescue seed = $3.50y

total cost will be 4.80x+3.50y



Given that cost of 1 pound of mix seed = $4.02

Then cost of 9 pound of mix seed = $4.02*9


combining all three parts, we get equation:

4.80x+3.50y=4.02*9

4.80x+3.50y=36.18...(ii)

plug (i) into (ii)

4.80x+3.50y=36.18

4.80x+3.50(9-x)=36.18

4.80x+31.5-3.50x=36.18

4.80x-3.50x=36.18-31.5

1.3x=4.68

x=3.6

Now plug x=3.6 into (i)

y=9-x=9-3.6=5.4


Hence final answer is given by:

Let number of pounds of Bermuda seeds he should buy = 3.6 pounds

Let number of pounds of Fescue seeds he should buy = 5.4 pounds

Convert 15/50 into a fraction
Lunna [17]
It already is a fraction though. I assume you mean to simplify it. You can simplify fraction by taking out the greatest common factor(that they share) in the denominator and numerator. In this case the denominator and numerator share the factor 5. So you if you divide the numerator and denominator by 5 you get 3/10 or the simplest form of the fraction. 
The answer is \frac{3}{10}

What is the domain and range of the function shown in the graph?
love history [14]
The domain is the set of all x values which are defined (appear on the graph) of the function. In this system, all values from negative infinity to 0, but not including zero, and all values above zero, through positive infinity, are valid. We can write this in set builder notation as x: (-∞,0)∪(0,∞).

The range is the set of all y values which are defined in the function. Like the domain, the range of this function contains all value from negative infinity to positive infinity except zero. Same notation: y: : (-∞,0)∪(0,∞).
