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

The length of a rectangle is 7 more than the width. The area is 744 sqaure yards, find the length and width of the rectangle​
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

  • Length of rectangle is 31 yards and Width is 24 yards.

Given:

  • The length of a rectangle is 7 more than the width.
  • The area is 744 sqaure yards

Solution:

Let's assume Width of rectangle be x and Length of rectangle be x + 7 respectively.

Using formula

\\  \:  \:  \:  \:  \pink{ \dashrightarrow \:  \:  \:  \:  \sf { \underbrace{Area_{(Rectangle)} =  Length × Width  }}} \\  \\

On Substituting the required values, we get;

\\ \: \: \: \:  \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf (x)(x + 7) = 744 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \:  \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf  {x}^{2}  + 7x = 744 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \:  \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf  {x}^{2}  + 7x - 744 = 0 \\ \\ \\  \: \: \: \:  \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf  {x}^{2}  + 31x - 24x - 744 = 0 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \:  \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf x(x + 31) - 24 (x + 31) = 0 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \:  \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf (x + 31)(x - 24) = 0 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \:  \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf x = 24 \:  or \:   - 31 \\ \\

As we know that width of the rectangle can't be negative. So x = 24

<u>Hence</u>,

  • Width of rectangle = x = 24 yards
  • Length of the rectangle = x + 7 = 31 yards

\thereforeLength of rectangle is 31 yards<u> </u>and Width is 24 yards.

The measures of two angles of a triangle are 49° and 75°. Find the measure of the third angle in degrees.
Alexeev081 [22]
Answer: 56 degrees


Step by step:
The three angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees.
49 + 75 + the third angle = 180
Let’s simplify.
180 - 49 - 75 = the third angle
So, by subtracting, we know that the third angle is 56 degrees!


Hope this helps! Please tell me if I did anything wrong, thank you so much and have a good day!
