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

Question: A square with sides of length 5 is positioned inside a square with sides of length 7. What is the total area between t
Sergio [31]

Answer:

The total area between the squares is of 24 units squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a square:

The area of a square of side length l is given by:

A = l^2

Area between figures:

The area between two figures is the area of the larger figure subtracted by the area of the smaller figure.

Larger square:

Square with side of length 7. So

A_l = 7^2 = 49

Smaller square:

Square with side of length 5. So

A_s = 5^2 = 25

What is the total area between the squares? ​

T = A_l - A_s = 49 - 25 = 24

The total area between the squares is of 24 units squared.
