Answer:
D. 3b + 2(b + 0.75) = 4.50; $0.60 per pound of bananas, $1.35 per pound of oranges
Step-by-step explanation:
Price per pounds of bananas = b
Price per pound of oranges = b + $0.75
Diego buys:
3 pounds of bananas = 3(b) = 3b
2 pounds of oranges = 2(b + 0.75)
Amount paid by Diego is expressed as:
3b + 2(b + 0.75) = 4.50
To find the price per pound of each fruit, use the equation above to find the value of b:
3b + 2b + 1.50 = 4.50
Combine like terms
5b + 1.50 = 4.50
5b + 1.50 - 1.50 = 4.50 - 1.50
5b = 3
5b/5 = 3/5
b = 0.6
Price per pound of banana = b = $0.6
Price per pound of oranges = b + $0.75
Plug in the value of b
= $0.6 + $0.75
= $1.35
Answer:
You're answer is -5 :)
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean Theorem: (a² + b² = c²)
1. Substitute the known values
20² + 15² = c²
400 + 225 = 625
2. Solve
625 = c²
Divide and solve for both side, simplify and you get:
Answer: C = 25
Answer:
x=7
Step-by-step explanation:
The two marked angles in the image are supplementary, so we can form the following equation:
2x-3=x+4
We can solve that equation to find <em>x</em>.
2x-3=x+4
2x=x+7
x=7
<u><em>I hope this helps.</em></u>
The first thing we are going to do for this case is define variables.
We have then:
x: Amount of soybean meal
320 - x: quantity of cornmeal
We now write the equation that models the problem:

Rewriting we have:

From here, we clear x:

Then, the amount of Soybean meal is:

The amount of cornmeal is:
Answer:
cornmeal: 280 lb
Soybean: 40 lb.
