Answer:

Bill should use 4.5 pounds of the candy costing 45 cents and 2.5 pounds of the candy costing 65 cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the information provided, you can say that the sum of the pounds of each type of candy is equal to 7, which can be expressed as:

x+y=7

Also, the statement indicates the 7 pound box costs $3.65 and you can say that the sum of the results of multiplying the price of each candy for the number of pounds is equal to $3.65, which is:

0.45x+0.65y=3.65

You have the following equations:

x+y=7 (1)

0.45x+0.65y=3.65 (2)

Now, you have to solve for x in (1):

x=7-y (3)

Then, you have to replace (3) in (2):

0.45(7-y)+0.65y=3.65

3.15-0.45y+0.65y=3.65

0.20y=0.50

y=0.50/0.20

y=2.5

Finally, you can replace the value of y in (3) to find x:

x=7-y

x=7-2.5

x=4.5

According to this, the answer is that Bill should use 4.5 pounds of the candy costing 45 cents and 2.5 pounds of the candy costing 65 cents.

In the standard (x,y) coordinate plane, what is the area of the circle x^2 + y^2 =169?
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

169π

Step-by-step explanation:

circle eq: (x-a)²+(y-b)²=r², where (a,b) is center and r is radius

r²=169

r = ±13

since a radius length must be positive, r = +13, not -13

A of circle: πr²

r = 13

169π

given that the circle eq has r², you could've noticed that you can take the constant in the circle eq and multiply that by π to get the same answer
