Answer:

y=447.3 pounds

x= 297.3 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

Tea A costs $9 per pound and

Tea B cost $6 per pound.

let the number of pounds of Tea A be x

and for Tea B be y pounds

The total cost of the mixture = $8 per pound

hence

9x+6y=8---------1

The total weight of the mixture

150 pounds

x+y=150-----------2

Step two:

9x+6y=8---------1

x+y=150---------2

from eqn 2 x=150-y

put x= 150-y in eqn 1

9(150-y)+6y=8---------1

1350-9y+6y=8

1350-8=9y-6y

1342=3y

divide both sides by 3

y= 1342/3

y=447.3 pounds

put y= 447.3 in eqn 2

x+447.3= 150

x= 150-446=7.3

x= -297.3

x= 297.3 pounds

What is the vertex form, f(x) = a(x - h)2-k, for a parabola that passes through the point (2,8) and has (1,0) as its
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

f(x) = a(x - h)²-k   ....vertex form  when the vertex is : (h,k)

h=1  and  k=0   so : f(x) = a(x-1)²

a parabola that passes through the point (2,8) : f(2)=8

a(2-1)² =8

a= 8

f(x) = 8(x-1)²=  8(x²-2x+1)

f(x) 8x²-16x+8   .....standard form

Michael can buy 4 sandwiches and 3 cups of coffee for $23.75. Amy can buy 2 sandwhiches and 5 cups of coffee for $19.75 how much
Kobotan [32]

Answer: The cost of one sandwich is $4.25 and the cost of one cup of coffee is $2.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the cost of one sandwich and y be the cost of one cup of coffee.

By considering the given situation, we have the following equations :-

4x+3y=23.75.................(1)\\\\2x+5y=19.75................(2)

Multiply 2 on both sides of equation (2) , we get

4x+10y=39.5................(3)

Subtract equation (1) from equation (3), we get

7y=15.75\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=\dfrac{15.75}{7}=2.25

Put value of y in (1), we get

4x+3(2.25)=23.75\\\\\Rightarrow\ 4x+6.75=23.75\\\\\Rightarrow\ 4x =17\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=4.25

Hence, the cost of one sandwich is $4.25 and the cost of one cup of coffee is $2.25.

Hello,

Let's assume f the age of the father,
s the age of the son.

<span>The age of a father is 2 less than 7 times the age of his son ==> f=7s-2 (1)

</span>
<span>In 3 years, the sum of their ages will be 52 ==>(f+3)+(s+3)=52 (2)

(2)==>f+s+6=52
==>f+s=46 (3)
(3) and (1) ==>7s-2+s=46

==>s=6
f=46-6=40
