Answer:

35 pounds of tea for 80 cents.

15 pounds of tea for 60 cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

x · 80 + y · 60 = 50 · 74

x + y = 50 · (- 60)

80x + 60y= 50 · 74

- 60x - 60y = -50 · 60

20x = 50 · (74-60) = 50 · 14

x = 50 · 14/20

35 pounds of tea for 80 cents.

y = 50 - 35 =

15 pounds of tea for 60 cents.

Answer:

35 pounds of tea for 80 cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation::

value + value = value

80x + 60(50-x) = 74*50  

80x + 60*50 - 60x = 74*50  

20x = 14*50

x = 35 lbs (amt. of 80 cent tea to use)

50-x = 15 lbs (amt. of 60 cent tean to use)

Three of the four vertices of a rectangle are located at (4, 2), (7, 2) and (4, 8). a. What are the coordinates of the missing v
34kurt

Answer:

a) The coordinates of the missing vertex = (7, 8)

b) Area = 18 square units

   Perimeter = 18 units

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We know three of the four vertices:

A: (4, 2)           C ______ D(?)

B: (7, 2)               |             |

C: (4, 8)           A |______| B  

To find the coordinates of the missing vertex we need to calculate the distance in the x-direction from point A to point B:

B_{x} - A_{x} = 7 - 4 = 3                    

Hence, the distance of point D from point C in the x-direction is:

D_{x} = C_{x} + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7

Now, to find the coordinate in "y" we need to calculate the distance in the y-direction between point C and point A:

C_{y} - A_{y} = 8 - 2 = 6  

Then, the distance of point D from point B in the y-direction is:

D_{y} = B_{y} + 6 = 2 + 6 = 8

Therefore, the coordinates of the missing vertex (point D) are:

D = (D_{x}, D_{y}) = (7, 8)    

b) The area of the rectangle is:

a = (B_{x} - A_{x})*(C_{y} - A_{y}) = 3*6 = 18 units^{2}

The perimeter is given by:

p = 2*(3 + 6) = 18 units

I hope it helps you!

BRAINLIEST ASAP! PLEASE. HELP ME :) I need help with part 2 of the question.
tino4ka555 [31]

Part 2:

-4a + 2 + 11a = 5a + 3 + 2a

~Combine like terms

7a + 2 = 7a + 3

~Subtract 2 to both sides

7a = 7a - 1

~Subtract 7a to both sides

0 = 1

Therefore, there are no solutions.

Best of Luck!

How do you reduce 6 33/16
UkoKoshka [18]
When you see the fraction 33/16, you realize that 33 divided by 16 is 2 remainder 1, so you add the 2 to the original 6, then put the remainder 1 on top of 16 ,which gives you 8 1/16
