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!

A rectangle has a heigh if 4x^3 and a width of x^3+3x^2+2x
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Area = 4x^6+12x^5+8x^4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The Complete Question:</u>

A rectangle has height  4x^3  and width  x^3+3x^2+2x. What is the area of the rectangle in terms of x?

<u>Solution:</u>

The formula for the area of a rectangle is:

Area = Height * Width

Both the expressions for height and width is given, so we just need to multiply both the expressions to get an expression, in x, for the area of the rectangle. The algebra is shown below:

A=(4x^3)(x^3+3x^2+2x)\\A=4x^6+12x^5+8x^4

This is the area of the rectangle.
