Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
For the y to cancel out, you would have to divide y by 5. Whenever you do one thing to a side, you <u><em>have</em></u> to do the same on the other side. Once you do so, you'll get :

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.

Answer:
x = 55, y = 70, z = 125
Step-by-step explanation:
125 and x are adjacent angles and are supplementary, then
x = 180 - 125 = 55
The triangle is isosceles ( 2 congruent sides ) thus the base angles are congruent, both 55
The sum of the 3 angles in the triangle = 180° , thus
y = 180 - (55 + 55) = 180 - 110 = 70
55 and z are adjacent and supplementary, so
z = 180 - 55 = 125
