Number of pounds of macadamia nuts is 8 pounds and number of pounds of almonds is 4 pounds.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Step 1:
Given total pounds of mixture = 12 pounds, cost of macadamia nuts per pound = $9, cost of almonds per pound = $5.25, total cost of mixture per pound = $7.75.
Let number of pounds of macadamia nuts be x and number of pounds of almonds be 12-x.
Step 2:
Form an equation using the above information.
⇒ 9x + 5.25 (12-x) = 12 × 7.75
⇒ 9x + 63 - 5.25x = 93
⇒ 9x - 5.25x = 30
⇒ 3.75x = 30
⇒ x = 8
Number of macadamia nuts is 8 pounds.
Step 3:
Calculate number pounds of almonds
⇒ Number of pounds of almonds = 12 - x = 4 pounds.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
6x^2+5x+1=0
Descr= b^2-4ac
Descr= 25-24=1
X1= (-b+√descr)/2a = (-5+1)/12= -1/3
X2= (-b-√descr)/2a = (-5-1)/12= -1/2
Answer:
um, u gotta ask a question
Answer:
The n th of the given sequence is 
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1</u> :-
Given sequence is 20,14,8,2,.......this sequence in arithmetic progression but this sequence is decreasing sequence.
given first term is 20 and difference is
now the nth term of given sequence is
by using formula 
final answer:-
<u>verification</u>:-
put n=1 we get first term is 20
put n=2 we get second term is 14
put n=3 we get third term is 8
put n=4 we get fourth term is 2
so the n th term of sequence is
