Answer:

10 lb of cashews and 70 lb of peanuts

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the pounds of cashews.

Then 80 – x = the pounds of peanuts

Value of cashews + value of peanuts = volume of mixture

x×4.75 + (80 – x)×2.75 = 80×3     Remove parentheses

   4.75x + 220 - 2.75x = 240        Combine like terms

               2.00x + 220 = 240        Subtract 220 from each side

                          2.00x = 20          Divide each side by 2.00

                                  x = 10 lb

                          80 - x = 80 – 10

                         80 - x = 70 lb

Max will mix 10 lb of cashews with 70 lb of peanuts.

=====

<em>Check: </em>

10×4.75 + 70×2.75 = 80×3.00

    47.50 + 192.50 = 240.00

                240.00 = 240.00

two friends went to a restaurant and ordered one plain pizza and two sodas. their bill totaled $15.95. later that day, five frie
oksano4ka [1.4K]
X= cost per pizza
y= cost per soda


1ST VISIT TO RESTAURANT
x + 2y= $15.95

2ND VISIT TO RESTAURANT
3x + 5y= $45.90


STEP 1
multiply equation from 1st visit by -3. Will be able to solve by elimination method in step 2.

-3(x + 2y)= -3(15.95)
multiply -3 by each term

(-3 * x) + (-3 * 2y)= (-3 * 15.95)

-3x - 6y= -47.85


STEP 2
add 2nd visit equation to new 1st
visit equation in step 1.

3x + 5y= 45.90
-3x - 6y= -47.85
x term will cancel out; solve for y

-y= -1.95
divide both sides by -1

y= $1.95 per soda


STEP 3
substitute y value in either original equation to solve for x

x + 2y= $15.95

x + (2 * 1.95)= 15.95
multiple in parentheses

x + 3.90= 15.95
subtract 3.90 from both sides

x= $12.05 per pizza


CHECK
3x + 5y= $45.90
3(12.05) + 5(1.95)= 45.90
36.15 + 9.75= 45.90
45.90= 45.90


ANSWER: Each pizza costs $12.05 and each soda costs $1.95.

Hope this helps! :)

*BRAINLIEST* The graphs below have the same shape. Complete the equation of the blue graph.​
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

(x-2)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The blue graph is shifted two units to the right of the "original" function x^2 (red). Let's recall the vertex form of a quadratic:

a (x-h)^2 + k

where a represents a constant that describes the opening of the parabola (up/down); h represents horizontal shift; and k represents vertical shift.

The blue graph is two units to the right (+2), there is NO vertical shift and NO change in how the parabola opens.

So, let's plug the appropriate values into vertex form:

(x-(+2))^2

= (x-2)^2
