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 slopes are the same.
Example: y=2x+5 & y=2x+7
Hello.
The mathematical symbol that would best fill the blank to compare both numbers is '>', which indicates a number is greater than the other.
Hope I helped.
F(x)= 3(-2)-4
F(x)=-6-4
F(x)=-10
<span>The dot product here is 10(9) + 6(5)=120
so the vectors are not orthogonal
</span><span>u.v = |u| x |v| cos (theta) ; theta is the angle between them
we know from above that u.v = 120
|u| = sqrt[10^2+6^2]=11.66
|v| = sqrt[9^2+5^2]=10.29
so we know:
theta =cos^-1 120/(11.66x10.29)
so theta = 25 degrees</span><span>
