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

Factor completely<br> (X^2 + x - 6) (2x^2 + 4x) =
Vikki [24]

Answer:

= 2x^4 + 6x^3 - 8x^2 + 24x

= 2x ( 2x^3 + 3x^2 - 4x + 12)

Step-by-step explanation:

(X^2 + x - 6) (2x^2 + 4x) =

Let's open the brackets carefully

x^2 * 2x^2 + x^2*4x + x*2x^2 + x*4x - 6*2x^2 - 24x

= 2x^4 + 4x^3 + 2x^3 + 4x^2 - 12x + 24x

= 2x^4 + 6x^3 - 8x^2 + 24x

= 2x ( 2x^3 + 3x^2 - 4x + 12)

Two skateboarders start a race at the same time skateboarder A travels at a steady rate of 15 feet per second skateboarder B tra
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Relative speed can play a major role in creating distance between two bodies. If the relative speed between two bodies is 0, then both the bodies are moving in the same direction with a similar speed. Thus, After 4 minutes, 1680 feet farther will Skateboarder B have traveled.

Skateboarder A travels at a steady rate of 15 feet per second.

Skateboarder B travels at a steady rate of 22 feet per second.

We need to determine that after 4 minutes, how much farther will Skateboarder B have traveled.

The formula for finding the distance travelled by anybody is represented below

Time is given that is 4 minutes which means 240 seconds.

Thus,

Distance travelled by skateboarder A

Distance travelled by skateboarder B.

Therefore, the separation of the distance between both the skateboarders is 5280 - 3600 = 1680.

Thus, After 4 minutes, 1680 feet farther will Skateboarder B have traveled.
