Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
x/5 + 1 = 11
x/5 = 10
x = 50
√13 - √11
The last answer.
Answer: 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the amount of Columbian coffee in the mixture and y the amount of Sumatra coffee in the mixture, then
x + y = 1 . . . (1)
9.25x + 14.25y = 12.50 . . . (2)
(1) x 9.25 => 9.25x + 9.25y = 9.25 . . . (3)
(2) - (3) => 5y = 3.25 => y = 3.25/5 = 0.65
From (1), x + 0.65 = 1 => x = 1 - 0.65 = 0.35
1 pound of the mixture contains 0.35 Columbian coffee and 0.65 Sumatra coffee
Therefore, 12 pounds of the mixture will contain 0.35 x 12 = 4.2 pounds of Columbian coffee and 0.65 x 12 = 7.8 pounds of Sumatra coffee
