Let C be the amount of compost
T be the amount of topsoil
Each compost cost = $25
Cost of C compost = 25C
Each topsoil cost = $15
Cost of T topsoil = 15T
Amount of compost + amount of topsoil = 10
C + T = 10 -------> Equation 1
cost of C compost + cost of T topsoil = 180
25C + 15T = 180 --------> equation 2
Solve the first equation for C
C + T = 10
C = 10 - T
Now plug it in second equation
25C + 15T = 180
25 ( 10 - T) +15T = 180
250 - 25T + 15T = 180 (combine like terms)
250 - 10 T = 180 (Subtract 250 on both sides)
-10T = 180 - 250
-10T = -70 ( divide by -10 on both sides)
T = 7
She purchased 7 cubic yards of topsoil .
The area of a square is the length of a side times itself:
2_4/9 * 2_4/9
Mixed numbers cannot be multiplied, so first convert to improper fractions:
(9*2)+4 = 18+4 = 22/9
22/9 * 22/9
Multiply straight across:
(22*22)/(9*9) = 484/81
Now turn this into a mixed number:
81 goes into 484 five times with 79 left over:
5_79/81 square inches
Since this is not one of the answer choices, I'm wondering if the given length of the side of the square is incorrect?
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
squaring both sides first gives 2x-5=x-3+1 hence simplifying further give x=3
