$\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&\stackrel{lbs}{amount}&\stackrel{unit}{cost}&\stackrel{total}{value}\\
&------&------&------\\
Raisins&11&2.30&25.3\\
Peanuts&p&4.50&4.5p\\
------&------&------&------\\
mixture&m&3.29&3.29m
\end{array}$

we know that, the mixture amount is the sum of 11 + p, or 11 + p = m.

we also know that, the total value is also a sum of 25.3 + 4.5p = 3.29m.

$\bf \begin{cases}
11+p=\boxed{m}\\
25.3+4.5p=3.29m\\
----------\\
25.3+4.5p=3.29\left( \boxed{11+p} \right)
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
25.3+4.5p=36.19+3.29p\implies 1.21p=10.89\implies p=\cfrac{10.89}{1.21}
\\\\\\
p=\stackrel{lbs}{9}$

Graph the system below and write its solution.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

See the graph attached. It has one solution: (6,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of a line is:

$y=mx+b$

Where m is the slope and b is the intersection of the line with the y-axis.

Given the first equation $y =\frac{-1}{2}x -1$

You can identify that:

b=-1

Substitute y=0 to find the intersection with the x-axis

$0 =\frac{-1}{2}x -1\\1(-2)=x\\x=-2$

This line passes through the points (0,-1) and (-2,0)

Given the second equation:

$-2 + y = -6$

Solve for y:

$y = -6+2\\y=-4$

It passes through the point (0,-4).

Now, you can graph. See the figure attached.

It has one solution,which is the point of intersection of both lines: (6,-4)

Solve x2 − 12x + 5 = 0 using the completing-the-square method. x = six plus or minus the square root of five x = negative six pl

Andru [333]

we are given

$x^2-12x+5=0$

we have to solve it by completing square method

step-1: Move 5 on right side

$x^2-12x+5-5=0-5$

$x^2-12x=-5$

step-2: Break middle term

$x^2-2*6*x=-5$

step-3: Add 6^2 both sides

$x^2-2*6*x+(6)^2=-5+(6)^2$

$(x-6)^2=31$

step-3: Solve for x

$\sqrt{(x-6)^2} =\sqrt{31}$

we wil get two values

First value is

$x-6=\sqrt{31}$

add both sides 6

$x-6+6=6+\sqrt{31}$

$x=6+\sqrt{31}$

Second value is

$x-6=-\sqrt{31}$

add both sides 6

$x-6+6=6-\sqrt{31}$

$x=6-\sqrt{31}$

so, solutions are

$x=6+\sqrt{31}$

$x=6-\sqrt{31}$ .............Answer

A library contains 2000 books. There are 3 times as man non fiction books. Write and solve a systems of equations to determine t

icang [17]

Answer:

The number of fiction books is <u>500</u> and non fiction books is <u>1500</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total book library contains = 2000.

There are 3 times as many non fiction books as fiction books.

Now, to determine the number of non fiction books and fiction books.

Let the fiction books be $x.$

And the non fiction books be $3x.$

Total books = 2000.

Now, to get the number of non fiction books and fiction books we put an equation:

$3x+x=2000.$

$4x=2000.$

Dividing both sides by 4 we get:

$x=500.$

Fiction books = 500.

Non fiction books = $3x=3\times 500=1500.$

Therefore, the number of fiction books is 500 and non fiction books is 1500.
