P is the cost of a pound of peanuts and F is the cost of a pound of dried fruit
0.5p+0.75f=6.5
0.75p+0.25f=4.5

Rearrange
0.5p=-0.75f+6.5

Simplify
P=-1.25f+13

Substitute
0.75(-1.25f+13)+0.25f=4.5

simplify
-0.9375f+9.75+0.25f=4.5
<span>-0.6875f+9.75=4.5
</span>-0.6875f=-5.25
f=7.636364

Round
F=$<span>7.64 per pound
</span>
Plug in
0.75p+0.25(7.64)=4.5

Simplify
0.75p+<span>1.91=4.5
0.75p=</span><span>2.59
</span>p=3.453333

Round
P=$3.45 per pound of peanuts

Final
P=$3.45 per pound of peanuts
F=$7.64 per pound of dried fruit

Find value of x such that the data set has a mean of 105: 99, 119, 106, 112; 108
Marizza181 [45]
I'm assuming that x is part of the data set, and, with x, the mean equals 105. To find the value of x, you must add all the data values together to get 544+x (you still don't know what x equals). Then put 544+x over how many days values there are, including x (there are 6). You should have 544+x/6. Now, as this is how you would calculate the mean if you knew what x was equal to, you must set it equal to the mean, since you know what it is (105). You should now have 544+x/6 = 105. You have your equation set up--now you just have to solve it. I would multiply by 6 on both sides to get rid of the 6 on the left side. You would then have 544+x = 630. I would finally subtract 544 from both sides to get x = 86. Your final answer is x = 86.

Answer:

All you need to remember is the rules

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us remember

a to the m power x a to the nth power is = a to the m+n power. (add the exponents)

And

a to the m power ÷ a to the nth power is = a to the m-n power. (subtract the exponents) So

14 to the -4 power x 14 to the 7 power= 14 to the -4+7 which is equal to 14 to the 3rd power
