Answer and explanation:

Given:

Royal soil= $6.50 per pound

Royal peasant = $2 per pound of 10 pounds

Blend total pounds is x+10, price is unknown hence solved below

Using algebra

We find unknown x = number of pounds of royal soil

$6.50(x)+$2(10)=6.50x+20/x+10(x+10)

= 6.50x+20= 6.50x²+85x+200

Find a gradient of a line that is parallel and perpendicular to this line with this gradient of 3 1/3
shepuryov [24]

a parallel line has the same gradient, so the gradient would be 3 1/3

a perpendicular line has the negative inverse gradient of the original (eg. if the original gradient is 4/3 then the perpendicular gradient would be -3/4 (all you have to do is change the +/- sign and flip the fraction), so in your case the gradient of the perpendicular line would be -3/10 (since 3 1/3 = 10/3)

upon his death, mr. moneybags left 1/2 of his estate to his wife 1/8 to each of his two children, 1/10 to each of his grandchild
stiks02 [169]
The picture looks confusing.
You divide 10000 by 1/10 then times that by 2 which equals 200,000 then divide that by 1/8 which is 160,000 then by 1/2 and you get 3,200,000

What is the value of (a+b) in the system of equations below?
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

6(a+b) + 2z = -8 ; divide by 2

3(a+b) + z = -4

a+b+z = 2; subtract z from both sides

a+b = 2-z; substitute a+b into equation  3(a+b) +z = -4

3(2-z) +z = -4; distribute

6 - 3z+ z= -4 ; subtract 6 on both sides

-3z + z = -4 -6 ; combine like terms

-2z = -10; divide both sides by -2

z= 5

3(a+b) +z = -4; substitute z by 5

3(a+b) +5 = -4; subtract 5 from both sides

3( a+b) = -4 -5; combine like terms

3(a+b) = -9; divide both sides by 3

(a+b) = -3
