Find the slope m.
Use the point-slope formula.
Solve for y.
Answer: B) x + y = 17
1.60x + 2.45y = 34
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of x = $1.60 per pound
Cost of y = $2.45 per pound
Total pounds of x and y = 17
Cost per pound of mixture = $2
Total number of pounds of the mixture :
x + y = 17
Since the cost per pound of the mixture = 2
Hence ;
(Cost of x * number of pounds of x) + (Cost of y * number of pounds of y)
(1.60 * x) + (2.45 * y) = (cost per pound of mixture * total number of pounds of the mixture)
1.60x + 2.45y = 2 * 17
1.60x + 2.45y = 34
4x-3y=17......(1)
5x+4y=60......(2)
Multiply equation (1) by 4 and equation (2) by 3:-
16x - 12y = 68
15x + 12y = 180
Adding these 2 equations:_
31x = 248
x = 248/31 = 8
Now substitute x = 8 in equation (1):-
4(8) - 3y = 17
32-3y = 17
-3y = -15
y = -15/-3 = 5
So solution is x=8,y=5
The answer is: 2a^4 - 3a^2 b - 5b^2
Your answer will be 125 x^6 y^12 z^3
