Answer: 
pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x pounds of $ 0.66 per lb candies mixed with y pounds of $ 1.31 per lb candies to obtain 9 lb of $ 0.97 per lb candies,
Hence, we can write,
x + y = 9 ------- (1)
And, 0.66 of x + 1.31 of y = 0.97 of (x + y)
⇒ 66 x + 131 y = 97 (x+y)
⇒ 66 x +131 y - 97 x - 97 y = 0
⇒ -31 x + 34 y = 0 ------(2)
By solving equation (1) and (2)
We get,
and 
Hence, the quantity of 0.66 per lb candies = pounds
1/3 of 12,000 ballots were thrown out.
1/3 * 12,000 = 12,000/3 = 4,000
4,000 ballots were thrown out.
12,000 - 4,000 = 8,000
There were 8,000 ballots left.
1/4 of 8,000 ballots are for candidate A.
1/4 * 8,000 = 8,000/4 = 2,000
Candidate A received 2,000 votes.
8,000 - 2,000 = 6,000
Candidate B received 6,000 votes.
The 7 is in the Ones place
All this means is (f(x)) + (g(x))
2x-1+ x^2-3x-2=
=== x^2 - x -3
Pour 4 times of 124-gallon into a big jug.
Amount of water = 124 x 4 = 496 gallons
Then use the 45-gallon jug to scoop out the water 11 times.
Amount of water scooped out = 11 x 45 = 455 gallons
Water remaining = 496 - 450 = 1 gallon.
