The cost of the mixture is $69 *$1 = $69. If all 69 pounds were peanuts, the cost would be 69*$0.99 = $68.31, which is $0.69 less. Each pound of walnuts used instead of peanuts adds $0.03 to the cost of the mixture, so there were $0.69/$0.03 = 23 pounds of walnuts.

<span>Let w represent the number of pounds of walnuts in the mixture. Then 69-w is the number of pounds of peanuts. The cost of the mixture will be </span>
<span>1.02w + 0.99(69-w) = 1.00*69 dollars </span>
<span>0.03w + 68.31 = 69.00 </span>
<span>w = (69.00 - 68.31)/0.03 = 0.69/0.03 = 23</span>
Can I get the question please. I might help you with your question.
Perimeter of a triangle = all 3 sides added together
x + (x - 4) + (x - 4) = 19
3x - 8 = 19
3x = 19 + 8
3x = 27
x = 27/3
x = 9 <==
Step-by-step explanation:
I am not sure what your problem here is.
you understand the inequality signs ?
anyway, to get
6×f(-2) + 3×g(1)
we can calculate every part of the expression separately, and then combine all the results into one final result.
f(-2)
we look at the definition.
into what category is -2 falling ? the one with x<-2, or the one with x>=-2 ?
is -2 < -2 ? no.
is -2 >= -2 ? yes, because -2 = -2. therefore, it is also >= -2.
so, we have to use
1/3 x³
for x = -2 that is
1/3 × (-2)³ = 1/3 × -8 = -8/3
g(1)
again, we look at the definition.
into what category is 1 falling ? the one with x > 2 ? or the one with x <= 1 ?
is 1 > 2 ? no.
is 1 <= 1 ? yes, because 1=1. therefore it is also <= 1.
so we have to use
2×|x - 1| + 3
for x = 1 we get
2×0 + 3 = 3
6×f(-2) = 6 × -8/3 = 2× -8 = -16
3×g(1) = 3× 3 = 9
and so in total we get
6×f(-2) + 3×g(1) = -16 + 9 = -7
