Answer: 12.5 pounds of the gourmet brand and 37.5 pounds of the cheaper brand should be mixed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of the gourmet brand of coffee that should be mixed.

Let y represent the number of pounds of the cheaper brand of coffee that should be mixed.

Each type should be mixed in order to have 50 pounds of coffee. It means that

x + y = 50

The mixed coffee would be worth ​$7.50 per​ pound. It means that the worth of the mixture would be

7.5 × 50 = $375. The gourmet coffee usually sells for ​$9.00 per pound. The cheaper brand sells for ​$7.00 per pound. It means that

9x + 7y = 375- - - - - - -- - - - - 1

Substituting x = 50 - y into equation 1, it becomes

9(50 - y) + 7y = 375

450 - 9y + 7y = 375

- 9y + 7y = 375 - 450

- 2y = - 75

y = - 75/ - 2

y = 37.5

x = 50 - y = 50 - 37.5

x = 12.5

Answer:

12.5 pounds of $9

37.5 pounds of $7

Step-by-step explanation:

9(x) + 7(50-x) = 50×7.5

2x + 350 = 375

2x = 25

x = 12.5

50-x = 37.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest = Principal x Time x Interest Rate

Interest = $5000 x 3.5 x 0.05

Interest  = $875

Total Balance will be

$5000 + $875

= $5,875

b is the midpoint of AC and E is the midpoint of BD if A(-9,-4) C(-1,6) and E(-4,-3) find the coirdinates of D
natima [27]

To find the coordinate of the point D, we can use the Midpoint point of a line Segment formula. Calculation of the formula are as follows,

Given two points A(x1,y1) and C(x2,y2), we need to locate the midpoint coordinate of this line denoted as B(x,y).

To solve for the value of x and y, we get,

x=(x1+x2)/2 and y=(y1+y2)/2

For the given problem, we need to solve first the midpoint coordinate of AC which is B.

So, A(-9,-4)=A(x1,y1) and C(-1,6)=C(x2,y2)

Hence,

B(x,y)=B((-9+(-1))/2, (-4+6)/2)=B(-10/2,2/2)=B(-5,1)

Now, since the midpoint is given but one point in the line is missing. To solve for the missing point D(x2,y2), we need to use the Midpoint Segment Formula.

 That is, B(-5,1)=B(x,y) and E(-4,-3)=E(x1,y1)

So,

x=(x1+x2)/2 and y=(y1+y2)/2

-5=(-4+x2)/2 and 1=(-3+y2)/2

By Cross Multiplication and Transposing method,

-5(2)=-4+x2 and 1(2)=-3+y2

x2=-10+4=-6 and y2=3+2=5

Thus, the coordinate of D is D(-6,5).

Write an algebraic expression for each word phrase.
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

63/h - 3.14

Step-by-step explanation:

Quotient means divide.

So the answer to the division is a quotient. 63/h is the quotient of the division.

Less means subtract so the subtraction that is taking place is

63/h - 3.14 and that's your answer.

Often with these questions, you start backwards as in this question.
