Let n be the number of lbs of nuts.
Let r be the number of lbs of raisins.
9n + 3r = 60 * 5 = 300 .............(1)
n + r = 60
n = 60 - r ...............(2)
Plugging the expression for n in (2) into (1) we get:
9(60 - r) + 3r = 300
which expands to:
540 - 9r + 3r = 300 .............(3)
Simplifying and rearranging (3) we get:
-6r = -240
Therefore r, the weight of raisins = 40 lbs
and the weight of nuts is 60 - 40 = 20 lbs

Prove that x-s-t is a factor of x^3 - s^3 -t^3 -3st(s+t)

1. Introduction. This paper discusses a special form of positive dependence. Positive dependence may refer to two random variables that have a positive covariance, but other definitions of positive dependence have been proposed as well; see [24] for an overview. Random variables X = (X1, . . . , Xd) are said to be associated if cov{f(X), g(X)} ≥ 0 for any two non-decreasing functions f and g for which E|f(X)|, E|g(X)|, and E|f(X)g(X)| all exist [13]. This notion has important applications in probability theory and statistical physics; see, for example, [28, 29]. However, association may be difficult to verify in a specific context. The celebrated FKG theorem, formulated by Fortuin, Kasteleyn, and Ginibre in [14], introduces an alternative notion and establishes that X are associated if ∗ SF was supported in part by an NSERC Discovery Research Grant, KS by grant #FA9550-12-1-0392 from the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), CU by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) Y 903-N35, and PZ by the European Union Seventh Framework Programme PIOF-GA-2011-300975.

How is a one-degree angle helpful classifying angles?
faltersainse [42]
It can give you a pretty good idea of how many degrees everything is. for example if something was 13degrees, you would be able to make an estimate because you know how much one degree is.

Solve the equation. Find x.<br> 20x + 5 - 0 = 5x + 32.5*2
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

20x+5−0=5x+(32.5)(2)

20x+5+0=5x+65

(20x)+(5+0)=5x+65(Combine Like Terms)

20x+5=5x+65

20x+5=5x+65

Step 2: Subtract 5x from both sides.

20x+5−5x=5x+65−5x

15x+5=65

Step 3: Subtract 5 from both sides.

15x+5−5=65−5

15x=60

Step 4: Divide both sides by 15.

15x

15

=

60

15

x=4

Hope this helps!

What is the mode of the data set?
Alex17521 [72]
1. the mode is 100 because 100 is the most common number in that sequence

2. the mean is 193.8 because if you add up 108, 306, 252, 113, and 191 then divide that by 5 you get 193.8
