Answer:

  • 65 bags of House Blend
  • 30 bags of Special Blend
  • 45 bags of Gourmet Blend

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we want to use all the beans, the constraints can be written as equations in h, s, and g, the numbers of bags of the House, Special, and Gourmet blends that can be made from existing stock. If units are 0.1 kg, then the equations are ...

  h + s + g = 140

  h +2s +3g = 260

       3s +2g = 180

__

Subtracting the first equation from the second gives ...

  s + 2g = 120 . . . . . . . derived fourth equation

Subtracting that from the third equation gives ...

  2s = 60

  s = 30

Then filling that back into the derived fourth equation, we have ...

  30 + 2g = 120

  g = (120 -30)/2 = 45

And substituting into the first equation gives ...

  h + 30 + 45 = 140

  h = 65

The merchant can use all of his beans making 65 bags of house blend, 30 bags of special blend, and 45 bags of gourmet blend.

Solve the system of equation below x+y+z=2 x-y+5z=6
mamaluj [8]
X + y + z = 2
x - y + 5z = 6

cancelando +y com -y:

x + z = 2*(-5)
x + 5z = 6

-5x -5z = -10
...x +5z = 6
---------------------
-4x = -4 *(-1)
4x = 4
x = 4/4
x = 1

x + z = 2
1 + z = 2
z = 2 - 1
z = 1

x + y + z = 2
1 + y + 1 = 2
2 + y = 2
y = 2 - 2
y = 0 

S: {x, y, z} = {1, 0, 1}

Money is invested into an account earning 4.25% interest compounded annually. If the accumulated value after 18 years will be $2
Lunna [17]
We are given with the following:
Effective annual interest, i = 0.0425
Future worth, F = $25000
Number of years, n = 18

We use the formula to solve for the present worth of the money:
P = F / (1 + i)^n
P = 25000 / (1 + 0.0425)^18
P = 11818.73

The closest answer is:
