Answer:
x = 85
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 20 = 62
add the 20 on both sides x - 20 = 62
+20 +20
add 62+20 to get 85 x = 85
Answer:
5.60 pounds each
Step-by-step explanation:
This is the dry mixture problem.
Let x = the number of pounds of the first type of candy
Therefore, number of pounds of second type of candy = 10-x
Value of first candy + value of second candy = value of mixture
Value of any candy = cost per pound of candy * weight of candy
Thus:
4x + 6(10 - x) = 5.60(10)
4x + 60 - 6x = 56
-2x + 60 = 56
-2x = -4
x = -4/-2
x = 2
Therefore, the number of pounds of first type of candy = 2 pounds
The number of pounds of second type of candy = 10 - 2 = 8 pounds
Check
$4(2) + $6(8) =
8 + 48 = $5.60(10)
$56 = $56
I wrote my decision of this example on a piece of paper.
