Answer:

Lamar used 76 pounds of type B coffee

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the number of pounds of type A coffee

Let y = the number of pounds of type B coffee

Type A coffee costs Lamar $4.40 per pound, and type B coffee costs $5.60 per pound. This means total cost of type A coffee and type B coffee will be

$(4.4x + 5.6y)

This month, Lamar made 129 pounds of the blend, for a total cost of $658.80.

This means the sum of type A coffee and type B coffee for the month is 129 and the total cost is $658.80

The equations deducted are

x + y = 129 - - - - - - - - -1

4.4x + 5.6y = 658.80 - - - - - - - - - - 2

Substituting x = 129 - y in equation 2,

4.4(129 - y) + 5.6y = 658.80

567.6-4.4y + 5.6y = 658.80

-4.4y + 5.6y = 658.80 - 567.6

1.2y = 91.2

y = 91.2/1.2 = 76 pounds

x = 129-y = 129-76

= 53 pounds

Lamar used 76 pounds of type B coffee

Simplify. -10m+2m^4-13m-20m^4
Ulleksa [173]
First one:

you can add -10m and -13m but you can't add -10m and 2m^4 becuase the powers aren't the same so

when adding the like terms
look at the:
powers, (x^3 adds with x^3)
placehloder letter (x adds with x and y adds with y and so on)

-10m+2m^4-13m-20m^4
powers: m^1 and M^4
placeholders: all m


add
-10m-13m+2m^4-20m^4
-23m-18m^4




second one:
when multiplying exponents, you add with like
so if you multipliy
x^2yz^3 times x^4y^2z^2 thne you would get x^6y^3z^5
when multiply with coeficients
2x^2yz^3 times 4x^4y^2z^2=8x^6y^3z^5
so using associative property a(bc)=(ab)c
2/3 times p^4 times y^3 times y^4 times s^5 times 6 times p^2 times s^3
group like terms

(2/3 times 6) times (p^4 times p^2) times (y^3 times y^4) times (s^5 times s^3)
(4) times (p^6) times (y^7) times (s^8)
4p^6y^7s^8

Help me with this?<br> ______________
Simora [160]

Answer:

Austin will have to buy 180 squares of carpeting.

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the dimension of the room. We do that by multiplying the width times the length and then subtracting the cut out region in the top right. And, in order to know how big that region we cut out is, we have to do a little subtraction.

We know the room is 18' long on the left side and 12' long on the right side. We subtract 12 from 18 to get 6, and we know that the cut out region is 6' long. We do the same thing with the width, 25' wide at the bottom minus 10' wide at the top and we see that the cut out is 15' wide.

18 x 25 = 450

6 x 15 = 90

450 - 90 = 360. The area of the room is 360 ft^{2}

Each piece of carpet is 2' by 1'. So for every 2' long, the piece of carpet is 1' wide. Each carpet piece will cover 2 ft^{2}. Divide 360 by 2 and you get 180.

Given: The coordinates of isosceles trapezoid JKLM are J(-b, c), K(b, c), L(a, 0), and M(-a, 0). Prove: The diagonals of an isos
In-s [12.5K]
We have to find the lengths of the diagonals KM and JL:
d ( KM ) = √ (( - a - b )² + ( 0 - c )²) = √ (( a + b )² + c² )
d ( JL ) = √ ( ( a - ( - b ) )² + ( 0 - c )²) = √ ( ( a + b )² + c² )
So the lengths of the diagonals KM and JL are congruent.
The lengths of the diagonals of the isosceles trapezoid are congruent.

Miguel plots points A, B, and C in the coordinate plane.
serg [7]

Answer:

part a: 5

part b: no, ABC is not an equilateral triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

part a: if you do the distance formula for points A and B, you get 5

part b: using the distance formula again, points A to B and points A to C are both 5, but points B to C is 6, therefore it's not equilateral because all the sides have to be the same length
