Answer:
The number of pounds of cashew is 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Let P represent the peanut
Let C represent the cashew nut.
From question, we were told that Elijah brought a total of 16 pounds of peanuts and cashew nuts. This can be written as:
P + C = 16 (1)
The total cost = $49.50
Cost per peanut = $2.75
Cost per cashew = $3.25
The above can be represented as:
49.50 = 2.75P + 3.25C. (2)
From equation 1,
P + C = 16
P = 16 — C
Substitute the value of P into equation 2:
49.50 = 2.75P + 3.25C.
49.50 = 2.75(16 — C) + 3.25C
49.50 = 44 — 2.75C + 3.25C
49.50 = 44 + 0.5C
Collect like terms
49.50 — 44 = 0.5C
5.5 = 0.5C
Divide both side by 0.5
C = 5.5/0.5
C = 11
Therefore, the number of pounds of cashew is 11

<h2>Given</h2>
<h3>Line 1</h3>
<h3>Line 2</h3>
- Passing through the points (4, 3) and (5, - 3)
<h2>To find</h2>
- The value of k, if the lines are perpendicular
<h2>Solution</h2>
We know the perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes, that is the product of their slopes is - 1.
Find the slope of line 1 by converting the equation into slope-intercept from standard form:
<u><em>Info:</em></u>
- <em>standard form is ⇒ ax + by + c = 0, </em>
- <em>slope - intercept form is ⇒ y = mx + b, where m is the slope</em>
- 3x - ky + 7 = 0
- ky = 3x + 7
- y = (3/k)x + 7/k
Its slope is 3/k.
Find the slope of line 2, using the slope formula:
- m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = (-3 - 3)/(5 - 4) = - 6/1 = - 6
We have both the slopes now. Find their product:
- (3/k)*(- 6) = - 1
- - 18/k = - 1
- k = 18
So when k is 18, the lines are perpendicular.
We are given statement : 3 more than a number then divided the result by 8.
We need to write an algebraic expression for it.
Let us assume unknown number be n.
3 more than n = (n+3).
Now, we need to divide that result (n+3) by 8.
So, we would get (n+3) divided by 8 = 
.
<h3>Therefore, final expression is
</h3>
4(a-2)=3(a+4)
4a-8=3a+12
a=20
<h3>Equation : x + y = 170 and y = 2x - 40</h3><h3>The weight of Bill is 70 pounds and weight of mark is 100 pounds</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let the weight of Bill be "x"
Let the weight of mark be "y"
Given that,
Mark and Bill have a combined weight of 170 pounds
Therefore,
x + y = 170 ------- eqn 1
Mark weighs 40 pounds less than twice Bill's weight
y = 2x - 40 ------- eqn 2
<em><u>Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1</u></em>
x + 2x - 40 = 170
3x = 170 + 40
3x = 210
x = 70
<em><u>Substitute x = 70 in eqn 2</u></em>
y = 2(70) - 40
y = 140 - 40
y = 100
Thus weight of Bill is 70 pounds and weight of mark is 100 pounds
