Answer:

18 pounds of cashews are needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

A manager bought 12 pounds of peanuts for $30.

Price of peanut per pound P = $30/12 = $2.5

Price of cashew per pound C = $5

Price of mixed nut per pound M = $4

Let x represent the proportion of peanut in the mixed nut.

The proportion of cashew will then be y = (1-x), so;

xP + (1-x)C = M

Substituting the values;

x(2.5) + (1-x)5 = 4

2.5x + 5 -5x = 4

2.5x - 5x = 4 -5

-2.5x = -1

x = 1/2.5 = 0.4

Proportion of cashew is;

y = 1-x = 1-0.4 = 0.6

For 12 pounds of peanut the corresponding pounds of cashew needed is;

A = 12/x × y

A = 12/0.4 × 0.6 = 18 pounds

18 pounds of cashews are needed.

The algebraic form of a sequence is 4n+1. write the sequence​
diamong [38]

Answer:

5, 9, 13, 17, 21, .....

Step-by-step explanation:

To generate the sequence, substitute n = 1, 2, 3, 4, ..... into the rule

a₁ = 4(1) + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5

a₂ = 4(2) + 1 = 8 + 1 = 9

a₃ = 4(3) + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13

a₄ = 4(4) + 1 = 16 + 1 = 17

a₅ = 4(5) + 1 = 20 + 1 = 21

Please help on this one plzzzz

We know that Angle Bisector Divides an Angle into Two Equal Angles.

As UP is the Angle Bisector of Angle U, It Divides Angle U into two Equal Parts they are Angle(1) and Angle(2)

⇒ Angle(1) = Angle(2)

Given Angle(1) = 5x + 10 and Angle(2) = 3x + 14

⇒ 5x + 10 = 3x + 14

⇒ 2x = 4

⇒ x = 2

⇒ Angle(1) = 5x + 10 = 5(2) + 10 = 10 + 10 = 20

So : Measure of Angle(1) is 20
