Answer:
- x+y=70; 8.50x+12.50y=10.56(70)
- 36 pounds Antigua
- 34 pounds Rift
Step-by-step explanation:
At the insistence of the problem author, we will let x represent pounds of Antigua coffee and y represent pounds of Rift coffee. Then we have ...
x + y = 70
8.50x +12.50y = 10.56(70) . . . . . total cost of the mix
__
We like to use the variable to represent the high-cost contributor. Here, that is y, so we'll substitute for x:
x = 70-y
8.50(70 -y) +12.50y = 10.56(70)
__
595 +4y = 739.2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
4y = 144.2 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 595
y = 36.05 . . . . . . . divide by 4
x = 70 -36.05 = 33.95
About 36 pounds of Rift Valley coffee and 34 pounds of Gualtemala Antigua coffee must be mixed.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
By letting the variable in our equation 8.50(70 -y) +12.50y = 10.56(70) represent the high-cost coffee, we ensure that the simplified equation will have a positive coefficient for the variable. This means we don't have to mess with negative numbers, so eliminating a common source of math errors.
The problem requirement that we use x for the low-cost contributor meant we introduced an extra equation that would not have been needed.
Been a while but I'm gonna try..! Okay!
For the Focus use the vertex to find it. (9/2 , 0)
For the directrix I believe it is. x = -9/2
Answer:
1. They ate 1/6 of the donuts
2. 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
1. They bought 18 donuts. 1/2 of 18 is 9. 1/3 of 9 is 3. To find the fraction, divide 3 by 18. Simplify the fraction. You are left with 1/6.
2. 1 1/3=4/3×1/2=4/6=2/3
Answer:
slope =6/4
Step-by-step explanation:
you jave to do rise over run,start at the y value which is where the graph of the line goes through the y axis then go up until you see a perfect point now go left or right depending on if it's a positive or negative slope.this is a positive slope so go right until you get to that perfect point
