Answer: -7y+8x
Step-by-step explanation: I assume you mean to simplify
Step 1: Remove parentheses : -4y - x - (3y - 9x)
Step 2: -(3y - 9x) = -3y + 9x
Step 3: Simplify: -4y - x - 3y +9x
Step 4: Answer: -7y+8x
Answer:
56.25 pound of the coffee that costs $5 per pound is needed
18.75 pound of the coffee that costs $9 per pound is needed
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of pounds be x and y respectively
The total pounds is 75;
So;
x + y. = 75 •••••••(i)
Total cost of first type
9 * x = $9x
Total cost of second type;
5 * y= $5y
75 pound at $6 per pound; total cost of this is;
6 * 75 = $450
Thus;
9x + 5y = 450 ••••••••(ii)
From i, x = 75-y
Put this into ii
9(75-y) + 5y = 450
675 -9y + 5y = 450
4y = 675-450
4y = 225
y = 225/4
y = 56.25
x = 75 - y from i
x = 75-56.25
x = $18.75
To convert yards to feet, you would multiply it by 3. So, since there the pipe is 2 yards long, you could multiply 2*3 to get 6 feet. Then you can convert feet to inches by multiplying it by 12. 6*12 is equal to 72, so 2 yards is equal to 72 inches. Lastly, you can subtract 18 from 72, to get 54, and 54 inches would be your final answer.
