Javier is considering two lawn care services. Premier Landscaping charges $15.00 for travel to the job site and $55.00 per hour

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Time in which both companies charge same cost = 1.5 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Fixed Variable

Premier Landscaping charges $15 $55

Ace Landscaping charges $65

Find:

Time in which both companies charge same cost:

Computation:

Assume in X time both companies charge same cost:

So,

Premier Landscaping total cost = Ace Landscaping total cost

⇒ $15 + $55(Time taken) = $65 (Time taken)

⇒ $15 = $65 (Time taken) - $55(Time taken)

⇒ $15 = $10 (Time taken)

⇒ Time taken = 1.5 hour

Time in which both companies charge same cost = 1.5 hour

Find the zeroes of the following equation:

weqwewe [10]

Answer: $\bold{x=\dfrac{1\pm \sqrt5}{2}}$

both zeros are irrational numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: The question would have made more sense if if it was 2/x = x - 1 but I will answer it as written.

$\dfrac{1}{x}=x-1\qquad \text{Restriction: }x\neq 0\\\\\\\text{Cross multiply, simplify, and set equal to zero:}\\1=x(x-1)\\\\1=x^2-x\\\\0=x^2-x-1\\\\\\\text{This is not factorable so you will need to use Quadratic Formula:}\\\\x=\dfrac{-(-1)\pm \sqrt{(-1)^2-4(1)(-1)}}{2(1)}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{1\pm \sqrt5}{2}$

The coffee counter charges ?"$11.00" per pound for kenyan french roast coffee and ?"$13.00" per pound for sumatra coffee. How mu

zloy xaker [14]

Answer: The answer is 13 ponds of each type should be used.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the coffee counter charges $11.00 per pound for kenyan french roast coffee and $13.00 per pound for sumatra coffee. We are to find the quantity of each type that should be used to make a 26 pound blend that sells for $12.00 per pound.

Let 'x' pound and 'y' pound of kenyan french roast coffee and sumatra coffee be used in the mixture of 26 pound.

So, we have

$x+y=26,~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(A)\\\\11x+13y=12\times 26.~~~~~~~~~~(B)$

Multiplying equation (A) by 11 and subtracting from equation (B), we have

$13y-11y=12\times26-11\times26\\\\\Rightarrow 2y=26\\\\\Rightarrow y=13,$

and from equation (A),

$x=26-13=13.$

Thus, 13 pounds of each type of coffee should be used.
