A nut mixture of peanuts and pecans at a small fair is $1.00 per pound of peanuts and $4.25 per pound of pecans. Over the entire

day, 115 pounds of the nut mixture was sold for $358.75. If p is the number peanuts and n is the number of pecans, then the system of equations that models this scenario is: p+n=115p+4.25n=358.75 Determine the correct description and amount of pounds for peanuts and pecans that were sold.

Hello!

You can solve this algebraically

p + n = 115

p + 4.25n = 358.75

Subtract the two equations to eliminate p

-3.25n = -243.75

Divide both sides by -3.25

n = 75

Put n into the first equation

p + 75 = 115

Subtract 75 from both sides

p = 40

The answers are,

40 pounds of peanuts were sold
75 pounds of pecans were sold

Hope this helps!

Pls I need help with this
LiRa [457]

Answer:

third side = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

third side is hypoenuse as it is opposite to 90 degree.

using pythagoras theorem

(perpendicular)^2 + (base)^2 = (hypotenuse)^2

2^2 + (2\sqrt{3 )^2 = hypotenuse^2

4 + 4*3 = hypotenuse^2

16 = hypotenuse^2

\sqrt{16} = hypotenuse

4 = hypotensue

The line x+ 2y = 9 intersects the curve xy + 18 = 0 at the points A and B. Find the coordinates of A and B.
victus00 [196]
Subtracting the second equation by 18 on both sides, we have xy=-18. Next, we divide both sides by x to get y=-18/x  Plugging that into the first equation, we have x+2(-18/x)=9. Multiplying both sides by x, we get x^2-36=9x. After that, we subtract both sides by 9x to get x^2-9x-36=0. Finding 2 numbers that add up to -9 but multiply to -36, we do a bit of guess and check to find the answers to be -12 and 3. Factoring it, we get 
x^2-12x+3x-36=x(x-12)+3(x-12)=(x+3)(x-12). To find the x values, we have to find out when 0=(x+3)(x-12). This is simple as when you multiply 0 with anything, it is 0. Therefore, x=-3 and 12. Plugging those into x=-18/y, we get x=-18/y and by multiplying y to both sides, we get xy=-18 and then  we can divide both sides by x to get -18/x=y. Plugging -3 in, we get -18/-3=6 and by plugging 12 in we get -18/12=-1.5. Therefore, our points are (-3,6) and (12, -1.5)

Lerok [7]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

(segment piece) x (segment piece) =   (segment piece) x (segment piece)

2*x = 3*4

2x = 12

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 = 12/2

x = 6
