Answer:
Number of pounds of cashews = x = 14.96 pounds
Number of pounds of Brazil nuts = y = 19.04 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us represent:
Number of pounds of cashews = x
Number of pounds of Brazil nuts = y
The nut shack sells cashews for $6.00 per pound and Brazil nuts for $5.00 per pound. How much of each type should be used to make a 34 pound mixture that sells for $5.44 per pound
Our system of equations is given as:
x + y = 34...... Equation 1
x = 34 - y
6x + 5y = 34 × 5.44
6x + 5y = 184.96.......Equation 2
Ww substitute : 34 - y for x in Equation 2
6(34 - y) + 5y = 184.96
204 - 6y + 5y = 184.96
Collect like terms
- 6y + 5y = 184.96 - 204
-y = -19.04
y = 19.04 pounds
Solving for x
x = 34 - y
x = 34 - 19.04
x = 14.96 pounds
Number of pounds of cashews = x = 14.96 pounds
Number of pounds of Brazil nuts = y = 19.04 pounds

Answer:
m<A = 84
AC = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the measure of Angle A by using the sum of interior angles of a triangle theorem.
48+48+A=180
96+A=180
A=84
We can then use the isosceles triangle similarity theorem and reason that since this is an isosceles triangle and one of the side lengths (AB) is 9, the other (AC) would also be 9.
There are 5280 feet in a mile
There are 3600 seconds in an hour
to get 40 miles per hour
we multiply 40 by 5280 and divide by 3600
40 * 5280 / 3600
this gets us 58.666666...
but since they want us to round to the nearest whole number, our answer would be 59 feet per second
Number of apples purchased = A
Cost of each apple = 15 cents
Then
The total cost of 15 apples = 15A
Number of bananas purchased = B
Cost of each banana = 10 cents
Then
Cost of 10 bananas = 10B
So
The total value of purchase = 15A + 10B
So the correct option among all the options given in the question is option "D",. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. Using this procedure it will be possible for you to answer similar questions with ease and without requiring any help from outside.
