Label each nut with a variable, c = cashews, p = peanuts.....
for a 10-pound mix, you will need c + p = 10
the price for 10-pounds would become 3.29 x 10 = 32.90
You will need an unknown amount of cashews at 5.60/lb and an unknown amount of peanuts at 2.30/lbs to get your full 10 pounds valued at 32.90
5.60c + 2.30p = 32.90
Now you 2 have a system of 2 equations and 2 unknowns
c + p = 105.6c + 2.3p = 32.9utilize substitution to solve:p = 10-c
5.6 c + 2.3 (10-c) = 32.9
solve for c then substitute back into c + p = 10 to solve for P
Hope this helps!
The answer will be $13.72 for 7 bags of popcorn.
to find this answer, you first take 5.88 and divide it by 3 to find out how much one bag costs.
the answer to 5.88/3 is 1.96, so you multiply 1.96 by 7 to get the answer of how much 7 bags of popcorn will cost.
hope this helps!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
3.4 + 2(9.7 + -4.8x) = 61.2
3.4 + (9.7 * 2 + -4.8x * 2) = 61.2
3.4 + (19.4 + -9.6x) = 61.2
Combine like terms: 3.4 + 19.4 = 22.8
22.8 + -9.6x = 61.2
Solving
22.8 + -9.6x = 61.2
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-22.8' to each side of the equation.
22.8 + -22.8 + -9.6x = 61.2 + -22.8
Combine like terms: 22.8 + -22.8 = 0.0
0.0 + -9.6x = 61.2 + -22.8
-9.6x = 61.2 + -22.8
Combine like terms: 61.2 + -22.8 = 38.4
-9.6x = 38.4
Divide each side by '-9.6'.
x = -4
Simplifying
x = -4
I believe that Alex will need about 3 left because 100 cm= 1 meter. He already has 89 cm of pipe and that means he need 11cm to make it a meter. He needs 111cm left in order to have 2 meters which I beleive is 3 pipes I guess.
I hope this helps. :)
