Answer:

15 8/9 pounds of 24%

28 1/9pounds of 60%

Step-by-step explanation:

x = pounds of 24%

44 - x = pounds of 60%

24x + 60(44  - x) = 47(44)

24x + 2640 - 60x = 2068

-36x + 2640 = 2068

-36x = -572

x = 15 8/9

44 - x = 28 1/9

Rounded

15 8/9 pounds of 24%

28 1/9pounds of 60%

Solve the following system. x2 + y 2= 25 2x + y = 10 The solution set
anzhelika [568]

Answer: {(5,0), (3,4)}

Step-by-step explanation:

You can apply the Substitution method:

- Solve for y from the second equation.

- Substitute into the first equation and solve for x.

Then:

y=10-2x

x^2+y^2=25\\x^2+(10-2x)^2=25\\

(Remember that: (a\±b)^2=a^2\±2ab+b^2)

x^2+(10^2-2(10)(2x)+(2x)^2)=25\\x^2+100-40x+4x^2=25\\5x^2-40x+75=0\\x^2-8x+15=0\\(x-5)(x-3)=0\\\\x=5\\x=3

Substitute the values obtained into one of the original equation and solve for y:

2(5)+y=10\\10+y=10\\y=0\\\\2(3)+y=10\\6+y=10\\y=4

The solution set is: {(5,0), (3,4)}

Elanso [62]

Answer:

$20.96

Step-by-step explanation:

He has $638.54 in his account and writes a check for $159.50. The amount of money he needs to stay at or above $500 is denoted by x.

638.54 - 159.50 + x >= 500

After writing a check, Malcom has $479.04 left in his account, which is below his cutoff.

479.04 + x >= 500

He must add at least x amount of dollars to his account to avoid a fee.

x >= 20.96

In order to avoid a fee, Malcom must add a minimum of $20.96 to his account.
