Answer: They must mix 10

pounds of the Kenya Blend and 60

pounds of the Queen City Blend.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the the quantity of Kenya coffee blend.

Let y represent the the quantity of Queen City coffee blend.

The quantity o coffee to be created is 70 pounds. This means that

x + y = 70

The coffee distributor needs to mix a(n) Kenya coffee blend that normally sells for $11.60 per pound with a Queen City coffee blend that normally sells for $14.30 per pound to create 70 pounds of a coffee that can sell for $13.91 per pound. The total cost of the mixture is

70 × 13.91 = $973.7

The expression would be

11.6x + 14.3y = 973.7 - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 70 - y into equation 1, it becomes

11.6(70 - y) + 14.3y = 973.7

812 - 11.6y + 14.3y = 973.7

- 11.6y + 14.3y = 973.7 - 812

2.7y = 161.7

y = 161.7/2.7

y = 59.88

Approximately 60 pounds.

x = 70 - y = 70 - 60

x = 10 pounds

A part selected for testing is equally likely to have been produced on any one of six cutting tools.
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

a)S= (1,2,3,4,5,6)

b) 1/6 or 16.67%

c) 1/3 or 33.33%

d) 5/6 or 83.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Sample space is the list of all the possible sample in this its either tool 1,2,3,4,5 or 6

b) probability of selecting from tool 1 is equally likely to picking from any cutting tool therefore it

1/6 or 16.7%

c) probability of selecting from any tool is 16.7% so probability of selecting from 3 or 5 = 16.67% + 16.67% = 33.3%

d) if the part is not from tool 4 then its from tool 1, or tool 2 or tool 3 or tool 5 or tool 6 therefore its

1/6+1/6+1/6+1/6+1/6 = 5/6 or 8.33%

Can someone help!!??! Please
erma4kov [3.2K]
For number 3 it says
X - 9 for x=-5
X-9 = ___ -9
It gave you your x so you would just substitute and in result you will have an equation of -5 -9
It would give you -14 , since it’s 2 negatives being added ,because you double tapped . Hope this helps :)
