Answer:
a) The system that models the situation is:
p + 0.2m = 3
p + m = 5
b) The solution of the system is:
m = 2.5
p = 2.5
Step-by-step explanat:
It is desired to obtain 5 pounds of a mixture containing 40% peanuts and 60% almonds.
It has a mixture of 20% peanuts and 80% almonds.
p: number of pounds of peanuts
m = amount of mixture
The equation that represents the amount of peanut and mixture that is needed is:
p + m = 5 pounds
m = 5-p (i)
The amount of peanut in total that the mixture should have is:
p + 0.2m = 0.6 (5)
p + 0.2m = 3 (ii)
a) The system that models the situation is:
p + 0.2m = 3
p + m = 5
Now we substitute (i) in (ii) and clear p.
p + 0.2 (5-p) = 3
p-0.2p = 2
p = 2.5 pounds
Now we find m
m = 5 - 2.5
m = 2.5 pounds
b) The solution of the system is:
m = 2.5
p = 2.5
Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The 2 chords are equal in length, both 36
Equal chords are equidistant from the centre, then
x = 16
Answer:
9x² - 7x - 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Two sides
(6x + 7) + 8x = 14x + 7
total perimeter - two sides = Third side
9x² + 7x - 2
- (14x + 7)
––––––––––
9x² - 7x - 9
Answer:
x > 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x + 3 > 13 ( subtract 3 from both sides )
x > 10
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We observe that the difference of terms is 4, 7 and 15 and next level difference is 4. It means the sequence is quadratic.
<u>We can compare this with simple quadratic sequence </u>
<u>and find out that doubling each term gives us </u>
This is close to our sequence, write the terms as follows to find exact rule
<u>The first term: </u>
- a₁ = 4 = 2*1² + 2 = 2*1² + 1 + 1
<u>The second term</u>
- a₂ = 11 = 2*2² + 3 = 2*2² + 2 + 1
<u>The third term:</u>
- a₃ = 22 = 2*3² + 4 = 2*3² + 3 + 1
<u>The fourth term:</u>
- a₄ = 37 = 2*4² + 5 = 2*4² + 4 + 1
<u>The nth term as per observation above is:</u>
