10 × -2 is -20
-20 -8 = -28
The answer would have to be D.
Answer: 30 pounds of coffee beans worth $10.50 per pound was used.
20 pounds of coffee beans worth $13.00 per pound was used.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of coffee beans worth $10.50 per pound that should be mixed.
Let y represent the number of coffee beans worth $13.00 per pound that should be mixed.
50 pounds of beans worth $11.50 per pound is to be made. The total cost of the mixture would be
50 × 11.5 = 575
This means that
10.5x + 13y = 575 - - - - - - - 1
The total number of pounds of each type of coffee used is 50. This means that
x + y = 50
Substituting x = 50 - y into equation 1, it becomes.
10.5(50 - y) + 13y = 575
525 - 10.5y + 13y = 575
- 10.5y + 13y = 575 - 525
2.5y = 50
y = 50/2.5 = 20
x = 50 - 20= 30
Answer:
B. SAS
Step-by-step explanation:
In the given diagram, it would be observed that each side of the bigger triangle are multiplied by a factor of 
to give the values of each corresponding sides of the smaller triangle. But the included angle of the two triangles are the same.
Therefore, the reason why the triangles are similar is because of side-angle-side (SAS) relations. The correct option is B.
