Step-by-step explanation: ???????
Answer:
x = 26
y = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
(5x - 17)° + (3x - 11)° = 180° (angles in a straight line)
Solve for x
5x - 17 + 3x - 11 = 180
Collect like terms
5x + 3x - 17 - 11 = 180
8x - 28 = 180
Add 28 to both sides
8x = 180 + 28
8x = 208
Divide both sides by 8
x = 208/8
x = 26
Also:
(2y + 5)° + 90° + (3x - 11)° = 180° (angles on a straight line)
Plug in the value of x and solve for y
2y + 5 + 90 + 3(26) - 11 = 180
2y + 5 + 90 + 78 - 11 = 180
Collect like terms
2y + 162 = 180
Subtract 162 from both sides
2y = 180 - 162
2y = 18
y = 9 (dividing both sides by 2)
<span>Cost of maple syrup = $6.00 a Gallon
Cost of corn syrup = 0.80 cents a Gallon
Cost of the syrup mixture = $2.36 a Gallon
There is mixture of 50 Gallons
Lets maple syrup be x gallons, so corn syrup be 50-x gallons
Hence,
6*x + 0.80(50-x) = 2.36*50
6x + 40 - 0.8x = 118
5.2x = 78
=> x = 78/5.2 => x = 15
So Maple will be syrup be 15 gallons.
Corn syrup will be 35 gallons.</span>
