Answer:

x = 28 ----- Banana

y = 54 ----- Almonds

z = 18 ---- Chocolate

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x \to banana

y \to almonds

z \to chocolate

So, we have:

x + y + z = 100 --- total used

4x + 8y + 6z = 652 -- i.e. 6.52 * 100 --- total sales from 100 pounds

y = 3z

Required

The number of pounds of each (i.e. x, y and z)

Substitute y = 3z in x + y + z = 100

x + 3z + z = 100

x + 4z = 100

Make x the subject

x = 100 - 4z

Substitute y = 3z in 4x + 8y + 6z = 652

4x + 8 * 3z + 6z = 652

4x + 24z + 6z = 652

4x + 30z = 652

Substitute x = 100 - 4z

4(100 - 4z) + 30z = 652

400 - 16z + 30z = 652

Collect like terms

- 16z + 30z = 652-400

14z = 252

Divide by 14

z = 18

Substitute z = 18 in x = 100 - 4z

x = 100 - 4 * 18

x = 100 - 72

x = 28

To calculate y, we have:

y = 3z

y = 3 * 18

y = 54

the length of a rectangle is 3cm more than the width. find the length and the width if the perimeter of the rectangle is 98cm.
laila [671]

The perimeter of a rectangle is <u>length + length + width + width</u>.

We know that the length of a rectangle is 3cm more than its width, which gives us the equation:  (l for length and w for width)

l = 3 + w

We also know that the perimeter of the rectangle is 98cm, which gives us the equation:

98 = 2l + 2w         (equation for perimeter of a rectangle as noted above)

We can divide both sides of this equation by 2 to get:

49 = l + w

Now we'll stick l = 3 + w into the above equation, which gives us:

49 = 3 + w + w

which simplifies to 49 = 3 + 2w.

Now we'll subtract 3 from both sides:

49 - 3 = 46

3 + 2w - 3 = 2w

which gives us 46 = 2w.

Dividing both sides by 2 gives us 23 = w.

Substituting w = 23 into the equation l = 3 + w gives us:

l = 3 + 23

l = 26cm.

Let's check our answer.  26cm is 3cm more than 23cm.  26cm + 26cm + 23cm + 23cm gives us 98cm.  The length is 26cm and the width is 23cm.

Practice Skills_ Simplifying Inequality1. 3( 1/2 - y) = 3/5 + 15y. What isthe solution to the given inequality?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

3( 1/2 - y) = 3/5 + 15y

Applying distributive property:

3*1/2 - 3y = 3/5 + 15y

3/2 - 3y = 3/5 + 15y

3/5 is adding on the right, then it will subtract on the left

3y is adding on the left, then it will subtract on the right

3/2 - 3/5 = 15y + 3y

15/10 - 6/10 = 18y

9/10 = 18y

18 is multiplying on the right, then it will divide on the left

9/10*1/18 = y

1/10*1/2 = y

1/20 = y
