We can solve this problem using a method called substitution.

We will use two variables-x for the Type A and y for the Type B.

We already know that a total of 153 pounds was used. We will represent this using the equation x+y=153.

We also know that the Type A costs 5.80/pound, and the Type B costs 4.75. The total cost is 796.05.

We will use the equation 5.8x+4.75y=796.05.

We now have our two equations:

x+y=153

5.8x+4.75y=796.05

Next, we will use the first equation to isolate one of the variables. Let's isolate x.

We will isolate x by subtracting y from both sides of the equation.

We now have:

x=153-y

We will now plug this in for x in the second equation.

5.8(153-y)+4.75y=796.05

We get rid of the parentheses using the Distributive Property.

887.4-5.8y+4.75y=796.05

887.4-1.05y=796.05

-1.05y=-91.35

y=87

We now use this to solve for x.

5.8x+4.75y=796.05

5.8x+413.25=796.05

5.8x=382.8

x=66

Type A=66

Type B=87

Hope this helped!

NeTakaya

Answer:

<u>22.33 feet tall / 267.96 inches tall</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The statue is 36 inches wide. If Chase made his model of the statue 16 inches wide, he decreased it by 20 inches. Now change the inches into feet. 36 inches would be 3 feet, 16 inches would be 1.33 feet and 20 inches would be 1.67 feet. <u>24ft - 1.67 = 22.33ft.</u> Now change the answers to inches.  22.33ft will be 267.96 inches tall.

Write an equation to model the total cost,y, for x pounds of blueberries.
zaharov [31]

Given:

Customers can pick their own blueberries at Blueberry Hill. They pay $5 to enter the patch and $4 per pound for the blueberries they pick.

Required:

We have to write an equation to model the given expression.

Explanation:

Let the total cost be y,

And x denotes the amount in pounds of blueberries.

Since, Given to enter the patch customers pay $5 (fixed)

and Given the customers pay $4 per pound for the blueberries they pick so for x pounds of blueberries cost 4x

Thus, total cost y = 4x + 5

Thus, Option (a) is correct.

Answer

Thus, Option (a) is correct.
