Answer:

  • trail mix: $1.25
  • jelly beans: $3.50 per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between double the first purchase and the second purchase is $7 and 2 pounds of jelly beans. Hence a pound of jelly beans is $3.50.

  (4t +8j) -2(2t +3j) = (33) -2(13) . . . . . let t and j represent pounds of trail mix and jelly beans, respectively

  2j = 7 . . . . . . . . . . simplify

  j = 7/2 = 3.50

Using that value in the first purchase, we get ...

  2t +3(3.50) = 13

  2t = 13 -10.50

  t = 2.50/2 = 1.25

A pound of trail mix is $1.25.

Answer:

P=20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's suppose that each question in the test has one and only one correct answer. This means we have 1 desired outcome out of the total 5 desired outcomes. Therefore:

Probability=#of desired outcomes / #of possible outcomes

or

P=\frac{1 correct}{5 opctions}

P=\frac{1}{5}

P=0.20

P=20%

Solve for the x in the inequality 6(2−6x)≤4−35x 6 ( 2 − 6 x ) ≤ 4 − 35 x .
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

8 ≤ x

Step-by-step explanation:

6(2 − 6x) ≤ 4 − 35x

Expand bracket;

12 - 36x ≤ 4 − 35x

Add 36x to both sides to get;

12 ≤ 4 + x

Subtract 4 from both sides to get;

8 ≤ x

Write an equation of the line that passes through the point(-6,-9) with slope -5
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

  y = -5(x +6) -9

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation for a line can be written as ...

  y = m(x -h) +k

for a line with slope m through point (h, k).

You have m=-5 and (h, k) = (-6, -9). Filling in these values gives ...

  y = -5(x -(-6)) -9

Simplifying a bit, you get ...

  y = -5(x +6) -9
