Let x be the number of pounds of the $1.35 beans. The cost of those beans is $1.35 * x, or 1.35x.
<span>Let y be the number of pounds of the $1.05 beans. The cost of those beans is $1.05 * y, or 1.05y. </span>
<span>We know that 120 pounds of the mix sells for $1.15/pound, for a total of 120 * 1.15 = $138. </span>
<span>x + y = 120 </span>
<span>1.35(x) + (1.05)y = 138 </span>
<span>We can rewrite the first as </span>
<span>x = -y + 120 </span>
<span>Now we can substitute (-y + 120) in for (x) in the second equation, because we just proved they're equal. </span>
<span>1.35(x) + 1.05(y) = 138 </span>
<span>1.35(-y + 120) + 1.05y = 138 </span>
<span>-1.35y + 162 + 1.05y = 138 </span>
<span>-0.3y + 162 = 138 </span>
<span>-0.3y = -24 </span>
<span>y = 80 </span>
<span>And since x + y = 120, that means x = 40. </span>
<span>Check: </span>
<span>40 pounds of x at $1.35 costs 40 * 1.35, or $54. </span>
<span>80 pounds of y at $1.05 costs 80 * 1.05, or $84. </span>
<span>Do those add up to our target total, according to the question, of 120 * 1.15 = $138? </span>
Well, i would use the distance formula to find the distance between the two points. Only issue- you do not have the other point, so lets find it!
We have the point 4,6. 4 is the x, and 6 is the y.
Lets start with 4 since the x works with the left and right aspect of the location. It says M has been translated 8 units to the left, meaning we go back 8. So if we are at 4, and we go back (A.K.A. Subtract) 8, we will be at -4.
Now lets move onto the y, which works with the up and down aspect of the location. It says M has been translated 9 unites down, meaning the point will be heading down and getting smaller. So if we are at 6, and we go down (A.K.A. subtract) 9, then we will be at -3.
So now we have the coordinates of point M (4,6) and point M' (-4,-3) so we can now complete the distance formula!
The distance formula helps determine the distance between two points. It looks like this: D = √(x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²
Though it does not matter which order you use the coordinates in, i am choosing to use M and then M'.
So, starting with the X, X₂ will be -4 and X₁ will be 4.
Again, starting with the Y, Y₂ will be -3 and Y₁ will be 6.
So, the formula plugged in will look like this: d = √(-4 - 4)² + (-3 - 6)²
Solving it out, we first need to work within the parenthesis. Can you solve it?
Our outcome will be this: -8² + -9². But, since we are squaring (And a negative times a negative equals a positive) you can just write 8² + 9²
8²= 64
9²= 81
64+81 = 145.
So, the distance between point M and point M' would be 145 units
Hope this helps!
If it does not, please let me know so i can try to help!
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
A coefficient is a numerical factor that contains a variable.
In this case, 3 is a numerical factor and contains a variable (y).
Hence,
3 is the coefficient of the expression.
