Alright, we can turn the word problem at the beginning into an equation.
Let's represent oregano with "o" and peppercorns as "p".
o=p+17
Also, we know that the two added together are 253 pounds.
o+p=253
Since we know that o=p+17, let's substitute it into the second equation.
(p+17)+p=253
2p+17=253
-17       -17
2p=236
p=118
So, we have 118 pounds of peppercorns. (Although it's irrelevant to the second half of the equation, we also know we have 135 pounds of oregano)
Now, let's convert pounds to ounces.
1 pound = 16 ounces.
So, multiply 118 by 16....
118*16=1888
So, you can make 1888 one-ounce bags of peppercorns.

Oregano=o
peppercorns=p
o+p=253
o=p+17
p+17+p=253
2p+17=253
2p=236
p=118
there are 16 ounces in a pound
118*16=1888
Hope this helps :)

If f(x) = StartFraction x Over 2 EndFraction + 8, what is f(x) when x = 10?
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the function

f(x)=\dfrac{x}{2}+8

To find the value of the function f(x) at point x=a, you have to substitute a instead of x into the function expression.

In your case, you have to evaluate f(x) when x=10. Substitute 10 instead of x into the function expression:

f(10)=\dfrac{10}{2}+8=5+8=13
