Let c represent the weight of cashews and p the weight of pecans.
Then c + 10 = total weight of the nut mixture.
An equation for the value of the mixture follows:
$1.50(10 lb) + $0.75c = (c+10)($1.00)
Solve this equation for c: 15 + .75c = c + 10. Subtract .75c from both sides:
15 = 1c - 0.75c + 10. Then 5=0.25c, and c = 5/0.25, or 20.
Need 20 lb of cashews.
Check: the pecans weigh 10 lb and are worth $1.50 per lb, so the total value of the pecans is $15. The total value of the cashews is (20 lb)($0.75/lb), or $15. Does (20 lb + 10 lb)($1/lb) = $15 + $15? Yes. So c= 20 lb is correct.
The answer for number one is d because 7 multiply by5 is 35
The answer for number two is a
Answer:
5n
Step-by-step explanation:
Summarizing what we know:
Casey has n nickels, and Meghan 4 times as many: 4n
Then the total number of nickets these two people have is n + 4n, or 5n.
|4x-9|=5x
subtract 4 to both sides
and that will give you
|-9|=x then the 9 turns positive because of the brackets
9=X
