A = nuts of $2/lb

B = nuts of $7/lb


let's say we'll mix "x" lbs of B to get a mixture with A of "y" lbs, therefore


\bf \begin{array}{lcccl} &\stackrel{lbs}{quantity}&\stackrel{\textit{cost}}{per~lb}&\stackrel{\textit{cost}}{total}\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ A~ nuts&50&2&100\\ B~nuts&x&7&7x\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ mixture&y&6&6y \end{array} \\\\\\ \begin{cases} 50+x=\boxed{y}\\ 100+7x=6y \end{cases}\qquad \qquad \implies 100+7x=6\left( \boxed{50+x} \right) \\\\\\ 100+7x=300+6x\implies \blacktriangleright x=200 \blacktriangleleft

Find the missing length of the triangle

Answer:

37

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula for this is:

A^2 + B^2 = C^2

if you substitute them:

12^2 + 35^2 =C^2 -> 144+ 1225= 1369

and the square root of 1369 is 37

hope this helps!!!

Solve for x: 3|x-3| 2=14<br> a. No solution<br> b. x=-1,x=8.3<br> c. x=0,x=7<br> d. x=-1,x=7
VMariaS [17]
I am looking  on the answers, and there is only one case, when a or b or c or d pass:   3|x-3| + 2 = 14.  So I assume, that before two is plus. Then:

3|x-3|+2=14    |minus 2
3|x-3|=12        |divide 3
|x-3|=4 

From absolute value definition you've got two ways:

x-3=4     or     x-3=-4
x=7        or     x=-1

And  answer d) passes

Given:SW is diameter of circleR<br><br> m\overarc ST = 30\degree<br><br> Prove: RTW = 15\degree
Ostrovityanka [42]

Check the picture below.

we know that the arcST is 30°, meaning the inscribed angle intercepting it will be half that or 15°.

in the triangle RWT, two sides of it are RT and RW, both of which are radius segments and thus equal, meaning that triangle RWT is an isosceles, and in an isosceles the twin sides also make twin angles, meaning that ∡RTW is a twin of the inscribed angle ∡RWT.

8 people each buy 7 so, 8 x 7 = 56
She needs to sell 60:
60 - 56 = 4
Katy is 4 away from selling 60.
