Answer:
40 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Cost of a candy
=
per pound
Cost of candy 
Total amount of mixture of be produced = 
Selling price of mixture = 
Let´s x be the amount of
to be mixed in the mixture.
∴ Cost of
in the mixture = 12x
Next, Cost of
in the mixture = 
And we know the cost of final mixture = 
Now, putting all the value in the equation
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
∴ 
∴ 40 pounds of candy worth $12 per pound to be mixed in the mixture.
Answer:
<u>x=3</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Addition property of equality is adding the same number to both sides of an equation does not change the equation.
a+c=b+c
3x-7=2
add 7 both sides of an equation.
3x-7+7=2+7
simplify.
3x=9
divide by 3 both sides of an equation.
3x/3=9/3
simplify.
9/3=3
3*3=9
9/3=3
<u>x=3 and 3=x</u>
Hope this helps!
Thanks!

Answer:
x=1 y = -1/2
(1,-1/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
7x-2y=8
5x+2y=4
I would use elimination since we have 2y in one equation and -2y in the other
7x-2y=8
5x+2y=4
--------------------
12x = 12
Divide each side by 12
12x/12 = 12/12
x =1
The substitute back into equation 2
5(1) +2y = 4
5 +2y = 4
Subtract 5
5-5+2y = 4-5
2y = -1
Divide by 2
2y/2 = -1/2
y = -1/2
Two solutions:
1. x =(100-√2160)/2=50-6√ 15 = 26.762
2. x =(100+√2160)/2=50+6√ 15 = 73.238
