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.

find the value of each variable in the circle to the right. the dot represents the center of the circle.
gladu [14]

We have been given an image of a circle. We are asked to find the value of each variable.

We can see that angle b corresponds to diameter of circle. We know that the measure of an angle that is inscribed to the diameter of a circle is 90 degrees . Therefore, the value of b will be 90.

we can see that angle is an inscribed angle of arc 99 degrees. We know that measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of inscribed arc.

a=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 99

a=49.5

Therefore, the value of a is 49.5 units.

We know that measure of all angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. The measure of 3rd angle will be half the measure of c, so we can set an equation as:

a+b+\frac{1}{2}c=180

49.5+90+\frac{1}{2}c=180

139.5+\frac{1}{2}c=180

139.5-139.5+\frac{1}{2}c=180-139.5

\frac{1}{2}c=40.5

\frac{1}{2}c\cdot 2=40.5\cdot 2

c=81

Therefore, the value of c is 81.

A manufacturer made 7,234 boxes of coffee stirrers.Each box contians 1000 stirrers.How many stirrers did they make?
mash [69]
To answer this, you multiple 1000 by 7,234 because each box comes with 1000, so if there are 7234 boxes, then you multiple the stirrers by the # of boxes

6. Find the function with x-intercepts (-3,0) and (5,0), which also goes through the point (1,8)
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

f(x) = (-1/2)(x^2 + 8x - 15)

Step-by-step explanation:

This function has two roots:  -3 and 5.  Most likely it is a quadratic (all of which have two roots).

Then f(x) = a(x + 3)(x - 5)

The graph goes through (1. 8):  Therefore, y = 8 when x = 1:

f(1) = a(1 + 3)(1 - 5) = 8, or

        a(4)(-4) = 8, or

            -16a = 8, which leads to a = -1/2.

Thus the quadratic in question is f(x) = (-1/2)(x + 3)(x - 5), or

                                                        f(x) = (-1/2)(x^2 + 8x - 15)
