1 1/2 pounds is how much her puppy gained altogether
Complete question :
Cheddar Cheese
$3/lb
Swiss Cheese
$5/lb
Keisha is catering a luncheon. She has $30 to spend on a mixture of Cheddar cheese and Swiss cheese. How many pounds of cheese can Keisha get if she buys only Cheddar cheese? Only Swiss cheese? A mixture of both cheeses?
What linear equation in standard form can she use to model the situation?
Answer:
10 lbs of cheddar cheese
6 lbs of Swiss cheese
$3a + $5b = $30
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Cheddar cheese = $3/lb
Swiss cheese = $5/lb
Total amount budgeted for cheese = $30
How many pounds of cheese can Keisha get if she buys only Cheddar cheese?
Pounds of cheedar cheese obtainable with $30
Total budget / cost per pound of cheddar cheese
$30 / 3 = 10 pounds of cheedar cheese
Only Swiss cheese?
Pounds of cheedar cheese obtainable with $30
Total budget / cost per pound of Swiss cheese
$30 / 5 = 6 pounds of Swiss cheese
A mixture of both cheeses?
What linear equation in standard form can she use to model the situation?
Let amount of cheddar cheese she can get = a
Let amount of Swiss cheese she can get = b
Hence,
(Cost per pound of cheddar cheese * number of pounds of cheddar) + (Cost per pound of Swiss cheese * number of pounds of Swiss cheese) = total budgeted amount
(3 * a) + (5 * b) = $30
$3a + $5b = $30
Answer: x = 780
Step-by-step explanation: Well <u><em>percent</em></u> means <em>over 100</em> so we can set up an equation for this problem by reading it from left to right.
So we know that <u><em>10%</em></u> means <em>10/100</em>, <u><em>of</em></u> means times, <em><u>what</u></em> <em><u>number</u></em> means <em>x</em>, <u><em>is</em></u> means <em>equals</em>, and <em><u>12</u></em> means 12.
Notice that <em>10/100</em> can be reduced to 1/10.
So rewriting our problem we have <em>X/10 = 78</em>.
To get rid of the fraction, we multiply both sides of the equation by 10 and we have <em>x = 780</em>. So, 10% of 780 is 78.
Now let's check our answer back in the original problem to see if it makes sense.
We have <em>10% of 780 is 78</em>. Well we know that 100% of of 780 would be 780 so 10% of 780 should be alot less than 780 so 78 seems to make sense.

Answer:
im pretty sure its B. two planes
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>In order to answer this question, you factor out a 2 and then use factorization for the rest of the answer to come up with the binomial. The answer is:
1. 2(3x+4)(x-1)=0
Hope this helps! :)</span>
