X=pounds of Type A coffee
y=pounds of Type B coffee

QUANTITY EQUATION:
x+y=178

COST EQUATION:
$5.45x + $4.20y=$870.10

STEP 1:
Solve for one variable in equation one.  Then substitute it in equation two.

x+y=178
subtract y from both sides of the equation
x=178-y


STEP 2:
substitute x=178-y in equation two

5.45x + 4.20y=870.10
5.45(178-y) + 4.20y=870.10
multiply 5.45 by everything in parentheses

(5.45*178)+(5.45*-y)+4.20y=870.10
970.10-5.45y+4.20y=870.10
combine like terms

970.10-1.25y=870.10
subtract 970.10 from both sides

-1.25y=-100
divide both sides by -1.25

y=80 pounds of type B coffee


STEP 3:
Substitute y=80 in either equation to solve for x

x+y=178
x+80=178
subtract 80 from both sides
x=98 pounds of type A coffee


ANSWER:
x=98 pounds of type A coffee
y= 80 pounds of type B coffee


CHECK:
Substitute answers for x & y into either equation to be sure it checks.

5.45x+4.20y=870.10
5.45(98)+4.20(80)=870.10
534.10+336=870.10
870.10=870.10

Hope this helps!  :)

Answer:

Q(-10) = 299

Step-by-step explanation:

Q(x) = 3x^{2} - 1Q(-10) = 3(-10)^{2} - 1

Q(-10) = 3(100) - 1  (-10 to the second power is 100 (negative times a negative equals a positive)

Q(-10) = 300 - 1  3 times 100 equal 300

Q(-10) = 299

Y=-17,3x+54 b=54 because its the initial value of y when x =0
When x=1 y=36,7
When x=2 y=19,4
I juste replaced 1 in the equation and did the calculation with my calculator
