Answer:

55 lbs of $0.40 and 45 lbs of $1.40  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that we have two buckets, one that weighs x pounds and the candies in it are $0.40 per pound and another that weighs 100-x pounds (because we know the two added together must be 100 pounds) and the candies in it are $1.40 per pound.

There is a third bucket that is made when you combine the two, it weighs 100 pounds and the candies in it are $0.85. Multiply the cents per pound by the pounds of the candy for each bucket and you get this equation:

0.4 * x + 1.4 (100-x) = 0.85 * 100

Solve!

0.4x + 140 - 1.4x = 85

-x + 140 = 85

-x = -55

x = 55

From this we get that 100 - x = 45.

So, the answer is 55 lbs of $0.40 and 45 lbs of $1.40

the width of an architects desk is represented by four times x squared and the length is represented by the expression 2x cubed.
Alika [10]
You will use the formula A=lw to find the area. Substitute 2x^3 in for the length and 4x^2 for the width. You would multiply both of these. 2×4 = 8, and x cubed times x squared equals X to the fifth power. You will add the exponents together because the exponent tells you how many times to multiply that value. If there are three x multiplied together (in x cubes) and two x multiplied together(in x squared) that makes five x multiplied together. The answer is represented as A=8x^5. ^ means to the power of.

Find the slope of a line parallel to a line containing points (3,-5) and(1,7)
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

Required slope = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have same slope.

(x₁ , y₁) = (3 , -5)      &  (x₂ , y₂) = (1, 7)

Slope = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

        = \frac{7 - [-5]}{1-3}\\\\=\frac{7+5}{1-3}\\\\=\frac{12}{-2}\\\\= -6

Slope of the a line parallel to a line  = -6

Which formula should be used to find the area of the composite shape?
hoa [83]

The last option seems the best one: the figure is composed of a square/rectangle and a triangle. The area of the rectangle is the product of its dimension (i.e. lw), while the area of the triangle is half the product of the base and height (\frac{1}{2}bh).

The sum of the two areas is the area of the composite shape.
