Answer:

x = 4

y = 6

z = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

bags of pecans = x

bags of walnuts = y

bags of almonds = z

x + y + z = 15

3x + 3.5y + 4z = 53

Two more bags of walnuts were sold than pecans.

Walnuts = x + 2

x + y + z = 15

3x + 3.5y + 4z = 53

x + x + 2 + z = 15

3x + 3.5(x+2) + 4z = 53

2x + z = 15 - 2

3x + 3.5x + 7 + 4z = 53

2x + z = 13 (1)

6.5x + 4z = 46 (2)

Multiply (1) by 4

8x + 4z = 52 (3)

6.5x + 4z = 46 (2)

Subtract (2) from (3)

8x - 6.5x = 52 - 46

1.5x = 6

Divide both sides by 1.5

x = 4 bags

y = x + 2

= 4 + 2

= 6

y = 6 bags

Substitute the value of x into (1)

2x + z = 13 (1)

2(4) + z = 13

8 + z = 13

z = 13 - 8

= 5

z = 5 bags

Check:

x + y + z = 15

4 + 6 + 5 = 15

the ratio between length and breadth of a rectangle is 7 : 5 find its length and breadth if it its perimeter is 60 m ​
Furkat [3]

Answer:

length= 17.5 m , breadth = 12.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of length : breadth = 7 : 5 = 7x : 5x ( x is a multiplier )

Then

2l + 2b = perimeter ( l is length, b is breadth )

2(7x) + 2(5x) = 60

14x + 10x = 60

24x = 60 ( divide both sides by 24 )

x = 2.5

Then

length = 7x = 7 × 2.5 = 17.5 m

breadth = 5x = 5 × 2.5 = 12.5 m

What is the answer to 4x-5x+9=5x-9?
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, combine like terms on the left side

4x-5x+9=5x-9

-x+9=5x-9

Subtract 9 on both sides

-x=5x-18

Subtract 5x on both sides

-6x= -18

Divide by -6 on both sides

x=3

Hope this helps! :)

What are the coordinates of the vertex of the parabola described by the equation below? y = -7(x - 4)2 - 5
pochemuha
To get the vertex of the parabola we proceed as follows;
y=-7(x-4)^2-5
The above can be written as:
y=-7x^2+56x-117
The values of a,b and c are:
a=-7, b=56 and c=-117
x=-b/(2a)
x=-56/(-7*2)=4
but;
y=-7x^2+56x-117
y=-7(4)^2+56(4)-117
y=-5
Thus;
x=4 and y=-5
The vertex will be at point (4,-5)
