A horticulturist wants to improve the soil quality in a garden by adding 120 pounds of nitrogen and 54 pounds of potassium. A pa

ck of organic fertilizer contains 2 pounds of nitrogen and 3 pounds of potassium, and a pack of inorganic fertilizer contains 6 pounds of nitrogen and 2 pounds of potassium. How many packs of each type of fertilizer does the horticulturalist need to use? (Hint Write an equation for the total amount of nitrogen (120 pounds) obtained by adding the packs of both the fertilizers and another equation for the total amount of potassium (54 pounds) obtained by adding the packs of both the fertilizers.)
A organic fertilizer: 24 packs; inorganic fertilizer: 12 packs

B. organic fertilizer: 14 packs; inorganic fertilizer: 6 packs

C organic fertilizer: 15 packs; inorganic fertilizer: 8 packs

D. organic fertilizer: 9 packs; inorganic fertilizer: 17 packs

Е. organic fertilizer: 6 packs; inorganic fertilizer: 18 packs​

x and y are the packs of organic and inorganic fertilizer, respectively.

pounds of nitrogen added = 2x + 6y = 120

pounds of potassium added = 3x + 2y = 54

eliminate the y terms. subtract the first equation from 3 times the second equation.

9x + 6y = 162

-2x - 6y = -120

------------------

7x = 42

x = 6

y = 18

The ratio of Holly's age to that her aunt is 4:9. When holly was born her aunt was 15 years old. How old is holly's aunt now?
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

27 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Holly's age be h and Aunt's age be a. We can setup 2 equations and solve.

1. \frac{h}{a}=\frac{4}{9}

2. a - 15 = h

We can plug in equation 2 into equation 1 to solve for aunt's age:

\frac{h}{a}=\frac{4}{9}\\\frac{a-15}{a}=\frac{4}{9}\\9(a-15)=4a\\9a-135=4a\\5a=135\\a=\frac{135}{5}=27

Holly's aunt's age is 27

Can someone help me with these
Trava [24]
Short answer
For 6: 72 ft^2
For 7: 650 m^2

Six
The base is a square. It's measurement is s = 4
Base = 4^2 
Base = 16 ft^2

One triangle 
A = 1/2 * b * h
A = 1/2 * 4 * 7
A = 14 tt^2

Four triangles
A = 4 * 14
A = 56 ft^2

Total Area = 56 + 16 = 72 ft^2
Answer 72 square feet

Seven
Triangles
Area of 1 triangle = 1/2 * 10 * 13
Area of 1 triangle = 65


Area of 6 triangles
Area of 6 triangles = 6 * area of 1 triangle
Area of 6 triangles = 390

Base
As near as I can tell, the base is a hexagon. It's using a rather out of the way method of drawing it. I will assume it is a regular hexagon. The area of a regular hexagon is 3 sqrt(3)/2 * S^2 where s is the side of the hexagon.

Area = 3sqrt(3)/2 s^2
s = 10
Area = 3sqrt(3)/2 10^2
Area = 5.1962 * 100 /2
Area = 259.81

Total area
Total area = area of the base + area of the triangles
Total area = 259.81 + 390
Total area (rounded ) = 650

Answer C <<<< answer 

I'll do one more in this batch and then you'll need to repost again.

If you draw two diagonals on the base of the figure, the intersection point will meet the base of the height. Read that a couple of times.
Join the intersection to the midpoint of the length of the square bottom.  You should get 3.5

x is found by using the pythagorean theorem.
h = 6
s = 3.5
x = ????

x^2 = 6^2 + 3.5^2
x^2 = 36 + 12.25
x^2 = 48.25
x = sqrt(48.25)
x = 6.95

Neko [114]

Answer:

The correct answer is option (C)-0.245 = 2.160(0.205)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution

Given that:

The slope = - 0.245

The size sample = n = 15

The standard error = 0.205

The confidence level = 95

The Significance level= α = (100- 95)% = 0.05

Now,

The freedom of degree = n-2 = 15 -2= 13

Thus,

the critical value = t* = 2.16

By applying Excel = [TINV (0.05, 13)]

The Margin of error is = t* (standard error)

=2.16 *0.205

= 0.4428
