Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 17
5(3) - 17 = 15 - 17 = -2
However, there is an absolute value sign over the expression. Abs value makes negatives turn positive. So -2 becomes 2.
For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
We have then:
x = pounds of type a coffee
y = pounds of type b coffee
We now write the system of equations:
5.95x + 4.45y = 490.05
y = 2x
Solving the system of equations we have:
x = 33
y = 66
Answer:
were used 33 pounds of type a coffee
Ok I will help you if I find out the answer.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A quadratic equation is a equation that takes the form: 
Ex. Using our definition of quadratic equations, ,
We can set a = 2, b = 1, c = 6:
Which can then be solved (if you are trying to solve it) as:
5.3 minutes.
First, let's calculate the volume of the tank. That will be the area of the base multiplied by it's length. And since it's base is a circle, the area is pi*r^2. So:
V = l*pi*r^2
V = 3.5 * pi * (2.2/2)^2
V = 3.5 * pi * (1.1)^2
V = 3.5 * pi * 1.21
V = 4.235 * pi
V = 13.30464489
So the tank has a volume of about 13.3 ft^3. Now simply divide that volume
by the rate of incoming fluid. So
13.3 / 2.5 = 5.32
Rounding to 2 significant figures gives a time of 5.3 minutes.
