Answer:
14 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equations can be solved for y by substituting for x. The first equation is convenient for writing x in terms of y.
<h3>Solution</h3>
x = 20 -y . . . . . . . subtract y from the first equation
7(20 -y) +5.5y = 119 . . . . . substitute for x in the second equation
140 -1.5y = 119 . . . . . . . . simplify
21 = 1.5y . . . . . . . . . . . add 1.5y -119 to both sides
14 = y . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 1.5
14 pounds of soy nuts should be used in the mixture.

<em>Additional comment</em>
There are many ways to solve a system of two linear equations. The attachments shows a matrix solution using a suitable calculator. It tells us that x=6 and y=14, as we found above.
Given:
In triangle KLM, KL = 123 cm and measure of angle K is 35 degrees.
To find:
The length of the side KM to the nearest tenth of a centimeter.
Solution:
In a right angle triangle,
In the given right triangle KLM,
Multiply both sides by 123.
The measure of side KM is 100.8 cm.
Therefore, the correct option is (2).
Hello!
So 4/4 - 3/4 = 1/4 (a quarter). So we have to find a quarter of 3/8 and add it to 3/8. First of all, we have to convert 1/4 to a percentage. The answer is 25%. 3/8 as a decimal is 0.375. 25% of 0.375 = (0.25 x 0.375 =) 0.09375.
0.09375 + 0.375 = 0.46875.
Now, we have to convert 0.46875 back into a fraction.
So the answer is 5/64.
Have a great day! :)
Answer:20 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The first set of consecutive even integers equals (8 , 6)
The second set is ( - 8 and - 6) which also works.
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation
(x)^2 + (x + 2)^2 = (x)(x + 2) + 52 Remove the brackets on both sides
Solution
x^2 + x^2 + 4x + 4 = x^2 + 2x + 52 Collect the like terms on the left
2x^2+ 4x+ 4 = x^2 + 2x + 52 Subtract right side from left
2x^2 - x^2 + 4x - 2x + 4 - 52 = 0 Collect the like terms
x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0 Factor
(x + 8)(x - 6) = 0
Answer
Try the one you know works.
x - 6 = 0
x = 6
Therefore the two integers are 6 and 8
6^2 + 8^2 = 100
6*8 + 52 = 100
So 6 and 8 is one set of consecutive even numbers that works.
========================
What about the other set.
x + 8 = 0
x = - 8
x and x + 2
- 8 and -8 + 2 = - 8, - 6
(- 8 )^2 + (- 6)^2 = 100
(-8)(-6) + 52 = 100
Both sets of consecutive numbers work.
