Number of pounds of cashews is 36 pounds and number of pounds of walnuts is 4 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Given details are cost of cashews = $1.58, cost of walnuts = 78 cents = $0.78, total weight of nuts = 40 pounds, cost of nuts per pound = $1.50
  • Step 2: Let number of pounds of cashews to be mixed be C, then number of pounds of walnuts will 40 - C. Form equation with these variables.

⇒ 1.58 C + (40-C) 0.78 = 40 × 1.50

⇒ 1.58 C + 31.2 - 0.78 C = 60

⇒ 1.58 C - 0.78 C = 60 - 31.2

⇒ 0.8 C = 28.8

⇒ C = 36 pounds

  • Step 3: Calculate number of pounds of walnuts

⇒ Number of pounds of walnuts = 40 - C = 4 pounds

A man deposited $80,000.00 in a bank at 12% compound interest per annum. How much did the man have in the bank at the second yea
vfiekz [6]

The amount that the man have in his bank at the second year is $100,352.

Using this formula

A=P(1+R÷100)^n

Where:

A=Amount

P=Principal=$80,000

R=Rate=12%

n=Number of years=2 years

Let plug in the formula

A=$80,000(1+12÷100)^2

A=$80,000(1+0.12)^2

A=$80,000(1.12)^2

A=$80,000(1.2544)

A=$100,352

Inconclusion the amount that the man have in his bank at the second year is $100,352.

Solve [ 2x - 2 ] _> 6
Alla [95]

x  ≥  4 which means that x must be greater than or equal to 4.

<h3>What is inequality?</h3>

An Inequality is defined as mathematical statements that have a minimum of two terms containing variables or numbers that are not equal.

Given inequality as :

⇒ 2x - 2  ≥  6

Divided by 2 both sides of the inequality,

⇒ x - 1  ≥  3

Add the 1 on both sides of the inequality,

⇒ x - 1 + 1  ≥  3 + 1

⇒ x  ≥  4 or

⇒ x ∈ [4, ∞ )

So, the solution of 2x - 2  ≥  6 is x  ≥  4

Therefore, x must be greater than or equal to 4.

2^x-4x=0 find the value of x in the equation
ella [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x ≈ 0.309906932381 or 4

Step-by-step explanation:

There are no algebraic methods of solving a mixed exponential and polynomial equation. The value of x can be found by guessing, or by other means such as trial and error or graphing.

Attached is a graph showing two solutions. x = 4 is the integer solution (2^4 = 4·4). The irrational solution is approximately x ≈ 0.309906932381. That precision is obtained by Newton's method iteration, easily done by a graphing calculator.
