Let A represent amount of Type A coffee pounds used.

Let B represent amount of Type B coffee pounds used

A + B = 156

B = 156 - A

A = 156 - B

5.80A + 4.65B = 826.60

580 (156 - B) + 4.65B - 826.60 = 0

904.8 - 5.80B + 4.65B - 826.60 = 0

904.8 - 1.15B - 826.60 = 0

78.2 - 1.15B = 0

78.2/1.15 = 1.15B/1.15

68 = B

B = 68 pounds of Type B coffee

There's many more steps you can take to check and etc but am too lazy to put down sorry.

Write the equation -4x^2+9y^2+32x+36y-64=0 in standard form. Please show me each step of the process!

IgorC [24]

Hey there, hope I can help!

$-4x^2+9y^2+32x+36y-64=0$

$\mathrm{Add\:}64\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides} \ \textgreater \ 9y^2+32x+36y-4x^2=64$

$\mathrm{Factor\:out\:coefficient\:of\:square\:terms} \ \textgreater \ -4\left(x^2-8x\right)+9\left(y^2+4y\right)=64$

$\mathrm{Divide\:by\:coefficient\:of\:square\:terms:\:}4$
$-\left(x^2-8x\right)+\frac{9}{4}\left(y^2+4y\right)=16$

$\mathrm{Divide\:by\:coefficient\:of\:square\:terms:\:}9$
$-\frac{1}{9}\left(x^2-8x\right)+\frac{1}{4}\left(y^2+4y\right)=\frac{16}{9}$

$\mathrm{Convert}\:x\:\mathrm{to\:square\:form}$
$-\frac{1}{9}\left(x^2-8x+16\right)+\frac{1}{4}\left(y^2+4y\right)=\frac{16}{9}-\frac{1}{9}\left(16\right)$

$\mathrm{Convert\:to\:square\:form}$
$-\frac{1}{9}\left(x-4\right)^2+\frac{1}{4}\left(y^2+4y\right)=\frac{16}{9}-\frac{1}{9}\left(16\right)$

$\mathrm{Convert}\:y\:\mathrm{to\:square\:form}$
$-\frac{1}{9}\left(x-4\right)^2+\frac{1}{4}\left(y^2+4y+4\right)=\frac{16}{9}-\frac{1}{9}\left(16\right)+\frac{1}{4}\left(4\right)$

$\mathrm{Convert\:to\:square\:form}$
$-\frac{1}{9}\left(x-4\right)^2+\frac{1}{4}\left(y+2\right)^2=\frac{16}{9}-\frac{1}{9}\left(16\right)+\frac{1}{4}\left(4\right)$

$\mathrm{Refine\:}\frac{16}{9}-\frac{1}{9}\left(16\right)+\frac{1}{4}\left(4\right) \ \textgreater \ -\frac{1}{9}\left(x-4\right)^2+\frac{1}{4}\left(y+2\right)^2=1$

$Refine\;once\;more\;-\frac{\left(x-4\right)^2}{9}+\frac{\left(y+2\right)^2}{4}=1$

For me I used
$\frac{\left(y-k\right)^2}{a^2}-\frac{\left(x-h\right)^2}{b^2}= 1$
$As\;\mathrm{it\;\:is\:the\:standard\:equation\:for\:an\:up-down\:facing\:hyperbola}$

I know yours is an equation which is why I did not go any further because this is the standard form you are looking for. I would rewrite mine to get my hyperbola standard form. However the one I have provided is the form you need where mine would be.
$\frac{\left(y-\left(-2\right)\right)^2}{2^2}-\frac{\left(x-4\right)^2}{3^2}=1$

Hope this helps!

the ratio of cats to dogs is 5 to 4 if there are a total of 63 cats and dogs how many dogs are there and how many cats ate there

Illusion [34]

Answer:

Number of cats is (5/9)(63) = 35, and number of dogs is (4/9)(63) = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

The given ratio is 5 to 4. Sum these up, obtaining 9. Then (5/9) of the whole represents the number of cats, and (4/9) of the whole represents the number of dogs.

Number of cats is (5/9)(63) = 35, and

number of dogs is (4/9)(63) = 28

As a check: 35 + 28 = 63.

Answer--->x/3<br>Process?

Komok [63]

Step-by-step explanation:

2x/3 - x/3 = x/3

they both have the same denominators (number at the bottom of the fraction) so all you have to do it subtract the numerators (top of the fraction) together. 2x-x =x, that's why it's x on the numerator for the answer

hope this helps
