<h3>Answer:</h3>

B) 10 pounds

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Let x represent the amount of 70¢ candy to be added. The value of the mixture can be written as ...

... 90×30 + 70x = 85×(30+x) . . . . . where 30+x is the total weight of the mix

... 2700 +70x = 2550 +85x

... 150 = 15x . . . . . . add -70x-2550

... 10 = x . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

10 pounds of candy at 70¢/lb must be added.

If the perimeter is 98 cm, the sum of the lengths of two adjacent sides is 49 cm.

... (2x -1) + (3x +5) = 49 . . . . use the given information and relation

... 5x +4 = 49 . .  . . . . . . . . . simplify

... 5x = 45 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4

... x = 9 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

The left side dimension is then

... 2x -1 = 2·9 -1 = 17 . . . . cm

The top dimension is

... 3x +5 = 3·9 +5 = 32 . . . . cm

The rectangle is 17 cm by 32 cm.

In sunlight, a vertical stick 6 ft tall casts a shadow 2 ft long. At the same time a nearby tree casts a shadow 14 ft long. How
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

42.0 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

let t be the height of the tree.

<u><em>At the same time ,the measure of something </em></u>

<u><em>and its shadow are proportional</em></u> .

Then

\frac{2}{6} =\frac{14}{t}

Then

2t = 6 × 14

Then

2t = 84

Then

t = 84/2

Then

t = 42

Therefore the tree is 42 ft tall
