Now you have
<u />
<u>(.15)0.5 lb peanuts</u>     =     <u>0.075 lb peanuts</u>
0.5 lb  nuts                              0.5 lb nuts

for every pound of 75% mixed nuts you add, you get .75 lb peanuts, how many pounds, x, do you need to add to get the ratio 50 to 100?

<u>0.075 lb peanuts + 0.75x lb peanuts</u><em>       =    <u /></em><u>   50   </u><u>
</u>0.5 lb nuts + x lb nuts                                      100

cross multiply

(0.075 + .75x) 100 = (0.5 + x) 50
7.5 + 75x = 25 + 50x
25x = 17.5
x = 0.7 lb of 75% peanuts

the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle is 6cm more than twice the shortest side. if the third side is 2 cm less than the hy
Mumz [18]

Answer:

Let the base be p

Hypotenuse = 2p +6

Perpendicular = 2p + 4

By Pythagoras theoram

(2p+6)^2 = (2p+4)^2 +p^2

=> 4p^2 +36 + 24p = 4p^2 + 16 +16p +p^2

=> 36+ 24p = p^2 + 16p + 16

=> p^2 - 8p - 20 = 0

=> p^2 - 10p +2p - 20 = 0

=> p(p-10) +2(p-10) = 0

=> (p-10)(p+2) = 0

p = 10 and - 2

Length can't be negative

So,

p = 10

Base = 10

Perpendicular = 24

Hypotenuse = 26
