For this, you would use simultaneous equations.
w=walnuts
a=almonds
3w+6a=51
5w+4a=55
Find a way to make one of the unknowns equal. since we are trying to work out the price of a pound of walnuts, I am going to make a equal on each side to leave us with w. This leaves us with:
15w+12a=165
6w+12a=102
Then take them away to leave w:
9w=163
Then solve:
w=163/9
= 18.11111111...
Then round it to 2 decimal places as the measurement is currency.
So 1 pound of walnuts equals $18.11
so, let's keep in mind that
so let's make a quick table of those solutions, say A, B, C solutions with x,y,z liters of acid, with an acidity of 0.25, 0.40 and 0.60 respectively.
we know she's using "z" liters and those are 3 times as much as "y" liters, so z = 3y.

Answer:
192/2 = 96 because is just the half of the number
Answer:
9, 32 and 36
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of all the sides. Since you know the perimeter and the expressions for each of the sides, you can set up an equation to solve for the variable and find the values of the other sides:
one side: '4 times the shortest side' = 4s
shortest side: 's'
third side: '23 more than the shortest side' = s + 23
perimeter = 77
Equation: 4s + s + (s + 23) = 77
Combine like terms: 6s + 23 = 77
Subtract 23 from both sides: 6s + 23 - 23 = 77 - 23 or 6s = 54
Divide by 6: 6s/6 = 54/6 or s = 9
one side: 4s = 4(9) = 36
shortest side: s = 9
third side: s + 23 = 9 + 23 = 32
