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!  :)

If those are the possible answers i'm pretty sure you need to have a group of numbers you extract the mean from for example form the numbers 56, 77, 65, 87, and 99 the mean of the numbers would be 77 so once i have those we can figure it out

A helicopter is hovering 450 feet above the ground. The angle of elevation
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The distance of helicopter from the injured person is 542.82 feet  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The height of the hovering helicopter above the ground = h = 450 feet

The angle of elevation from injured person to helicopter = Ф = 56°

Or, Let the distance of of helicopter from person = x feet

Now, From Triangle

∵ Sin Ф = \dfrac{\textrm Perendicular}{\textrm Hypotenuse}

∴  Sin 56° = \dfrac{\textrm h}{\textrm x}

Or, 0.8290 = \dfrac{\textrm 450}{\textrm x}

Or , x = \dfrac{\textrm 450}{\textrm 0.8290}

I.e x = 542.82 feet

So, The distance from injured person to helicopter = 542.82 feet

Hence The distance of helicopter from the injured person is 542.82 feet  Answer
