Keep in mind x >0 since x is a measurement of length.

Answer:</h3>
System
Solution
- p = m = 5 — 5 lb peanuts and 5 lb mixture
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
(a) Generally, the equations of interest are one that models the total amount of mixture, and one that models the amount of one of the constituents (or the ratio of constituents). Here, there are two constituents and we are given the desired ratio, so three different equations are possible describing the constituents of the mix.
For the total amount of mix:
... p + m = 10
For the quantity of peanuts in the mix:
... p + 0.2m = 0.6·10
For the quantity of almonds in the mix:
... 0.8m = 0.4·10
For the ratio of peanuts to almonds:
... (p +0.2m)/(0.8m) = 0.60/0.40
Any two (2) of these four (4) equations will serve as a system of equations that can be used to solve for the desired quantities. I like the third one because it is a "one-step" equation.
So, your system of equations could be ...
___
(b) Dividing the second equation by 0.8 gives
... m = 5
Using the first equation to find p, we have ...
... p + 5 = 10
... p = 5
5 lb of peanuts and 5 lb of mixture are required.

Answer:
- late only: 15
- extra-late only: 24
- one type: 43
- total trucks: 105
Step-by-step explanation:
It works well when making a Venn diagram to start in the middle (6 carried all three), then work out.
For example, if 10 carried early and extra-late, then only 10-6 = 4 of those trucks carried just early and extra-late.
Similarly, if 30 carried early and late, and 4 more carried only early and extra-late, then 38-30-4 = 4 carried only early. In the attached, the "only" numbers for a single type are circled, to differentiate them from the "total" numbers for that type.
__
a) 15 trucks carried only late
b) 24 trucks carried only extra late
c) 4+15+24 = 43 trucks carried only one type
d) 38+67+56 -30-28-10 +6 +6 = 105 trucks in all went out
Solution: The number of ways we can arrange 3 blue marbles if a set of 5 marbles is selected is:



Therefore, there are 10 ways we could arrange 3 blue marbles.
