Answer:

The number of bags of Grow Rite brand = x = 42 bags

The number of bags of Great Green brand = y = 20 bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of bags of Grow Rite brand = x

The number of bags of Great Green brand = y

The equation is given as:

4x + 7y = 308....... Equation 1

5x + 6y = 330....... Equation 2

Using Elimination method.

Multiply Equation 2 by the coefficient of x in Equation 1 and Multiply Equation 1 by the coefficient of x in Equation 2

4x + 7y = 308....... Equation 1 × 5

5x + 6y = 330....... Equation 2 × 4

20x + 35y = 1540..... Equation 3

20x + 24y = 1320....... Equation 4

Subtract Equation 3 from Equation 4

11y = 220

y = 220/11

y = 20 bags

4x + 7y = 308....... Equation 1

4x + 7(20) = 308

4x + 140 = 308

4x = 308 - 140

4x = 168

x = 168/4

x = 42 bags

The number of bags of Grow Rite brand = x = 42 bags

The number of bags of Great Green brand = y = 20 bags.

A druggist has two mixtures of a certain chemical and water, one containing 10% of the chemical and the other containing 40% of
satela [25.4K]
Let x be the amount of the solution containing 10% of the chemical. Then, the solution with 40% chemical becomes 10 - x. The equation for balancing the chemical content of the solution is,
0.10x + 0.40(10 - x) = 0.25(10)
The value of x is 5. Hence, the druggist should mix 5 ounces of each. There are 2.5 ounces of chemical in the final mixture.

Could somebody please answer these four questions with simple yet explanatory answers?
Kamila [148]
1) Surface Area = 2(lw + lh + wh)
2(4*5+4*9+5*9) =202in^2
Surface Area=202in^2
Lateral Area= Perimeter of base * height
5+5=10  <--width+width
4+4=8 <---length + length 
10+8=18  <--total perimeter
18 * 9=162in^2  <--multiplied the height +perimeter of base  
Lateral Area=162in^2

2) Same concept as the previous one
 Surface Area = 2(lw + lh + wh)
2(4*2+4*5+5*2) =76in^2
Surface Area= 76in^2

Lateral Area
Lateral Area= Perimeter of base * height
4+4=8
2+2=4
8+4=12
12 x 5=60
Lateral Area= 60in^2
