Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 4 = - 7
Carry over the - 4 and make x the subject.
x= - 7 + 4
x= - 3
Therefore x is - 3
Esay, first what you have to do us move -6 to the right side and now you will have 3y=-3x+6, what you want to do next is to divide 3y by both sides and your final answer is y=-x+2, hope this helps.
Answer (to quote you exactly):
"Yes you can actually"
Step-by-step explanation:
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
