Answer:

5 bags of brand x and 6 bags of brand y.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nutrient requirement for the garden:

39 pounds of nutrient a and

16 pounds of nutrient b

Component of each bag of brand x:

3 pounds of nutrient a and 2 pounds of nutrient b

Therefore, 5 bags of brand x will contain 15 pounds of nutrient a and 10 pounds of nutrient b

Component of each bag of brand y:

4 pounds of nutrient a and 1 pound of nutrient b

Therefore, 6 bags of brand y will contain 24 pounds of nutrient a and 6 pounds of nutrient b

Altogether, she should buy 5 bags of brand x and 6 bags of brand y to meet the nutrient requirement of the garden

For the first triangle the sum of angles in any given triangle is equal to 180 degrees.

The equation for the first triangle would be: 60+80+x+51= 180

Solving it we get: 191+x=180
x=-11.

The second triangle’s equation is: 90+45+52+x= 180

Solving it we get: 187+x=180
x=-7

The third triangle’s equation is: 4+7x= 90
This is because it is a right angle.

Solving it we get: 12.2 (rounding)
x=about 12.2

For the fourth triangle the equation is: 6x-5+5x=105 (we subtract 75 to 180 to get the sum of the other two angles)

Solving it we get: 11x=110
x=10.

Hope this helps! ( and if you can please give brainliest, it would mean a lot!)
