Answer: the number of pounds of Brown's Grounds Coffee that was mixed is 60

the number of pounds of Coffee From Heaven that was mixed is 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of Brown's Grounds Coffee that was mixed.

Let y represent the number of pounds of Coffee From Heaven that was mixed.

Brown's Grounds Coffee is selling for $2.50 a pound is mixed with Coffee From Heaven selling for $2.80. 100 pounds was produced and sold at the rate of $2.62 per pound. This means that the total cost of the blend produced is 100×2.62 = $262. Therefore

2.5x + 2.8y = 262 - - - - - -- - -- - -1

x + y = 100

Substituting x = 100 - y into equation 1, it becomes

2.5(100 - y) + 2.8y = 262

250 - 2.5y + 2.8y = 262

- 2.5y + 2.8y = 262 - 250

0.3y = 12

y = 12/0.3 = 40

x = 100 - y = 100 - 40

x = 60

Someone please be awesome and help me please :(
solong [7]

Answer:

(x+\frac{b}{2a})^2+(\frac{4ac}{4a^2}-\frac{b^2}{4a^2})=0

(x+\frac{b}{2a})^2=\frac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2}

x=\frac{-b}{2a} \pm \frac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+\frac{b}{a}x+\frac{c}{a}=0

They wanted to complete the square so they took the thing in front of x and divided by 2 then squared.  Whatever you add in, you must take out.

x^2+\frac{b}{a}x+(\frac{b}{2a})^2+\frac{c}{a}-(\frac{b}{2a})^2=0

Now we are read to write that one part (the first three terms together) as a square:

(x+\frac{b}{2a})^2+\frac{c}{a}-(\frac{b}{2a})^2=0

I don't see this but what happens if we find a common denominator for those 2 terms after the square.  (b/2a)^2=b^2/4a^2 so we need to multiply that one fraction by 4a/4a.

(x+\frac{b}{2a})^2+\frac{4ac}{4a^2}-\frac{b^2}{4a^2}=0

They put it in ( )

(x+\frac{b}{2a})^2+(\frac{4ac}{4a^2}-\frac{b^2}{4a^2})=0

I'm going to go ahead and combine those fractions now:

(x+\frac{b}{2a})^2+(\frac{-b^2+4ac}{4a^2})=0

I'm going to factor out a -1 in the second term ( the one in the second ( ) ):

(x+\frac{b}{2a})^2-(\frac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2})=0

Now I'm going to add (b^2-4ac)/(4a^2) on both sides:

(x+\frac{b}{2a})^2=\frac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2}

I'm going to square root both sides to rid of the square on the x+b/(2a) part:

x+\frac{b}{2a}=\pm \sqrt{\frac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2}}

x+\frac{b}{2a}=\pm \frac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Now subtract b/(2a) on both sides:

x=\frac{-b}{2a} \pm \frac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Combine the fractions (they have the same denominator):

x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}
