Answer:

X = 14 kg

Y= 7 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

LET  X and Y equal the amounts of brand X and Y

X = kg of brand X

Y = kg of brand Y

we know:

1)   X    +    Y   =   21    (kg)

2)   1X  +   4Y  =   2(X + Y)        (This is the cost/kg * amounts for total cost)  

Coefficients 1,4,2  are the cost/kg)

substitute eq. 1 (X+Y), = 21 into right side of equation 2

1X + 4Y = (21)*2

use elimination to solve 2 equations

X   +   Y = 21

X   + 4Y = 42        (now subtract,       note:  I wrote the 1X as just X)

------------------

0     -3Y  = -21       OR   Y = 7 kg   so X = (21-7) OR   X = 14 kg

Use the table to answer the question. X y -21-1 -1 -1 1 0 3 1 5 2 7 Which equation represents the relationship between x and y s
horsena [70]

Answer:

D. y = 2x + 3​

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the table to answer the question.

x:-2  -1   0   1    2

y: -1   1   3   5   7

Which equation represents the relationship between x and y shown in the table.

Solution:

The table shows a linear relationship between x and y.

A linear equation is in the form y = mx + b, where y is a dependent variable, x is an independent variable, m is the rate of change (slope) and b is the value of y when x = 0.

The table (x, y) has the points (-2, -1) and (0, 3). The equation is given by:

y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} (x-x_1)\\\\y-(-1)= \frac{3-(-1)}{0-(-2)} (x-(-2))\\\\y+1=2(x+2)\\\\y+1=2x+4\\\\y=2x+3

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

8p+3f=10.39

5p+4f=10.51

subtract

3p-f=-0.12

f=3p+0.12

8p+3(3p+0.12)=10.39

17p=10.39-0.36

17p=10.03

p=10.03/17=0.59

f=3×0.59+0.12=1.77+0.12=1.89 $

or 40 p+15f-40p-32f=51.95-84.08

-17f=-32.13

f=1.89 $

10. When a rubber ball is dropped from a height, h cm on to a flat concrete floor, it rebounds to 3 5 h cm a height of Given a r
Xelga [282]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height above which the ball is released be H

This problem can be tackled using geometric progression.

The nth term of a Geometric progression is given by the above, where n is the term index, a is the first term and the sum for such a progression up to the Nth term is

To find the total distance travel one has to sum over up to n=3. But there is little subtle point here. For the first bounce ( n=1 ), the ball has only travel H and not 2H. For subsequent bounces ( n=2,3,4,5...... ), the distance travel is 2×(3/4)n×H

a=2H..........r=3/4

However we have to subtract H because up to the first bounce, the ball only travel H instead of 2H

Therefore the total distance travel up to the Nth bounce is

For N=3 one obtains

D=3.625H
