Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
In a parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other.
Therefore,
4x - 5 = 3x
4x = 3x + 5
4x - 3x = 5
x = 5
So you want height to be 0 so you plug zero into the height and solve from there. You subtract 192 from both sides to get -192=-16tsquared. Then you would divide by -16 and end up with 12 = t^2. Then you find the square root of 12 and get t = 3.464 seconds.
Let's use K for Kona and F for Fuji. The system of equations has to be a balanced system. For example, you can't mix the number of pounds of beans with the cost for each because pounds and dollars are different and you can only combine like terms...pounds with pounds and dollars with dollars. So let's start with the number of pounds. Since we don't know how much of each he bought we have the 2 unknowns, F and K, but we DO know that he bought 23 pounds total. So the first equation is
K + F = 23
Now let's see what we can do with the dollars. Again, we don't know how much he bought of each kind of coffee, but we do know that Kona beans cost $11 per pound and that Fuji beans cost $7.50 per pound, and we know that he spent a total of $197. So let's set that up:
11K + 7.50F = 197
Those are your 2 equations. It doesn't say you need to solve them, so you're done.
