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

The fuel efficiency for a 2007 passenger car was 31.2 mi/gal. For the same model of car, the fuel efficiency increased to 35.6 m
Ierofanga [76]

We have been given that fuel efficiency for a 2007 passenger car was 31.2 mi/gal and the same model of car, the fuel efficiency increased to 35.6 mi/gal in 2012. Also, the gas tank for this car holds 16 gallons of gas.

We need to write a function and graph a linear function that models the distance that each car can travel for a given amount of gas up to one tankful.

Let represent the functions as d_{1}(x) and d_{2}(x)  where d_{1} and d_{2} represent the distances traveled by car in years 2007 and 2012 and x represents the number of gallons. Therefore, we can express the required functions as:

d_{1}(x)=31.2x \text{ and } d_{2}(x) = 35.6x

Domain of both these functions are [0,16] and ranges are [0,499.2] and [0,569.6] respectively for years 2007 and 2012.

The difference function will be:

f(x)=35.6x-31.2x\\
f(x)=4.2x

f(16)=4.2*16=67.2

Domain of this function is [0,16] and range is [0,67.2].

The graphs are shown below.

Verify this closure property of subtraction x= -4/5 , y= 1/-10​
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

x - y is also a rational number. Hence satisfies the closure property.

Step-by-step explanation:

x =\frac{-4}{5}    , y = \frac{1}{-10} = \frac{-1}{10}\\

Closure property of subtraction states that for any two integers a and b, (a - b) must also be an integer.

Here x and y are rational numbers. so x - y must also be rational to satisfy the closure property.

              x - y = -\frac{4}{5}- ( - \frac{1}{10}) = -\frac{4}{5} + \frac{1}{10} = \frac{-8 +1 }{10} = \frac{-7}{10}
