Answer:
2 pounds of coffee costing $4 should be mixed with 3 pounds of coffee costing 4.50 a pound to obtain a mixture costing $4.30 a pound.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that coffee costing $4 a pound mixed with 3 pounds of coffee costing $4.50 a pound . we have to find the number of pounds of coffee mixed with 3 pounds of coffee costing $4.50 a pound to obtain a mixture costing $4.30 a pound.
Let x be the pounds of coffee mixed.
Cost of coffee of 3 pounds costing $4.50 a pound is 3(4.50)=$13.5
Total weight of mixture=x+3
The cost per pound of the mixture will be the total value of the coffee in the mixture divided by the total weight of the mixture which is 4x+13.5 divided by total weight 3 + x.
∴ A/Q the equation becomes
⇒ 4x+13.5=4.30(3)+4.3x
⇒ 0.6=0.3x
⇒ x=2
Hence, 2 pounds of coffee costing $4 should be mixed with 3 pounds of coffee costing 4.50 a pound to obtain a mixture costing $4.30 a pound.
Each eraser was $4.
6+4(3)=18
6+12=18

Answer:
(10, - 9 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
y = - 2x + 11 → (1)
y = - 3x + 21 → (2)
Substitute y = - 2x + 11 into (2)
- 2x + 11 = - 3x + 21 ( add 3x to both sides )
x + 11 = 21 ( subtract 11 from both sides )
x = 10
Substitute x = 10 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate fir y
Substituting into (1)
y = - 2(10) + 11 = - 20 + 11 = - 9
solution is (10, - 9 )
Abcissa is x, and ordinate is y.
In this case the x is positive, and the y is negative.
Therefore, the answer is "positive, negative"
Answer:
B) Adjacent
Step-by-step explanation:
The hypotenuse will ALWAYS be designated as the longest side in a right triangle.
Pretend that the angle (the one with the round line) is an eyeball that is looking outwards. The eye is looking out at side BC. That means that line BC is opposite of the angle.
This leaves one side left: the adjacent side. The adjacent side is the side next to the angle. But it is the side that is NOT the hypotenuse.
