Answer: The answer is 13 ponds of each type should be used.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the coffee counter charges $11.00 per pound for kenyan french roast coffee and $13.00 per pound for sumatra coffee. We are to find the quantity of each type that should be used to make a 26 pound blend that sells for $12.00 per pound.

Let 'x' pound and 'y' pound of  kenyan french roast coffee and sumatra coffee be used in the mixture of 26 pound.

So, we have

x+y=26,~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(A)\\\\11x+13y=12\times 26.~~~~~~~~~~(B)

Multiplying equation (A) by 11 and subtracting from equation (B), we have

13y-11y=12\times26-11\times26\\\\\Rightarrow 2y=26\\\\\Rightarrow y=13,

and from equation (A),

x=26-13=13.

Thus, 13 pounds of each type of coffee should be used.

What’s the answer to this ?
gladu [14]

Answer:

x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then corresponding angles are congruent.

∠ I = ∠P ← substitute values and solve for x

3x + 4 = 72 - x ( add x to both sides )

4x + 4 = 72 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

4x = 68 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 17

When two lines intersect, the angles across from the intersection (the "X") are congruent (equal), and referred to as "vertical angles."
So by the rule of vertical angles are congruent, we can set them equal:
{x}^{2}  - 6x = 1\div2 \: x + 42 \\  {x}^{2}  - 6x - 1 \div 2 \: x = 42 \\  {x}^{2}  - 6.5x = 42
{x}^{2}  - 6.5x - 42 = 0 \\ multiply \: both\: sides \: by \: 2 \: to \: get \\ rid \: of \: the \: decimal \\ 2({x}^{2}  - 6.5x - 42) = 2(0)
2 {x}^{2}  - 13x - 84 = 0
to factor we need the factors of 84:
1×84, 2×42, 3×28, 4×21, 6×14
Now we need one of those factors ×2 ( from the x^2 term) minus the other factor to equal 13 (the middle term)
it turns out that if we use 4×21: 4×2 = 8
and 21-8 = 13. Woohoo! we got it
So now we have:
2 {x}^{2}  - 13x - 84 = 0 \\ (2x - 21)(x + 4) = 0
Now set each factor = 0
1) 2x - 21 = 0 and 2) x + 4 = 0
1) 2x - 21 = 0, 2x = 21, x = 21/2 = 10.5
2) x + 4 = 0, x = -4

Now we plug in each answer to check:
1) x = 10.5
{x}^{2}  - 6x =  {(10.5)}^{2}  - 6(10.5) \\  = 110.25 - 63 = 47.25
1/2x + 42 = 1/2(10.5) + 42 = 5.25 + 42 = 47.25
47.25 = 47.25
BAM SO IT LOOKS LIKE THAT'S IT!!
But let's check 2) first:
2) x = -4
{( - 4)}^{2}  - 6( - 4) = 16 + 24 = 40
1/2x + 42 = 1/2(-4) + 42 = -2 + 42 = 40
40 = 40, so both work!!
But it asks for m<1, and <1 is supplementary because it lies on same line, meaning the sum of both = 189
Therefore m<1 = 180 - 47.25 = 132.75°
OR m<1 = 180 - 40 = 140°
