Number of pounds of macadamia nuts is 8 pounds and number of pounds of almonds is 4 pounds.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Step 1:
Given total pounds of mixture = 12 pounds, cost of macadamia nuts per pound = $9, cost of almonds per pound = $5.25, total cost of mixture per pound = $7.75.
Let number of pounds of macadamia nuts be x and number of pounds of almonds be 12-x.
Step 2:
Form an equation using the above information.
⇒ 9x + 5.25 (12-x) = 12 × 7.75
⇒ 9x + 63 - 5.25x = 93
⇒ 9x - 5.25x = 30
⇒ 3.75x = 30
⇒ x = 8
Number of macadamia nuts is 8 pounds.
Step 3:
Calculate number pounds of almonds
⇒ Number of pounds of almonds = 12 - x = 4 pounds.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Carrie has 2 meters of ribbon. She cuts off pieces of ribbon that are 5/10 meter, 1/10 meter, and 7/10 meter
Lets add all the cut of pieces and subtract it from 2 meters

Now we subtract 13/10 from 2 meters

To subtract , make the denominator same

7/10 meter is the remaining piece of ribbon
Combine like terms
2m and -4m are like terms while 3m^2 isnt. So, leave 3m^2 as it is and combine the other set. 2m-4m = (-2m). Therefore, your answer should be 3m^2 - 2m
