Let
x = pounds of peanuts
y = pounds of cashews
z = pounds of Brazil nuts.
The total pounds is 50, therefore
x + y + z = 50 (1)
The total cost is $6.60 per pound for 50 pounds of mixture.
The total is equal to the sum of the costs of the different nuts.
Because the cost for peanuts, cashews, and Brazil nuts are $3, $10, and $9 respectively, therefore
3x + 10y + 9z = 50*6.8
3x + 10y + 9z = 340 (2)
There are 10 fewer pounds of cashews than peanuts, therefore
x = y + 10 (3)
Substitute (3) into (1) and (2).
y + 10 + y + z = 50
2y + z = 40 (4)
3(y + 10) + 10y + 9z = 340
13y + 9z = 310 (5)
From (4),
z = 40 - 2y (6)
Substitute (6) into (5).
13y + 9(40 - 2y) = 310
-5y = -50
y = 10
z = 40 - 2y = 40 - 20 = 20
x = y + 10 = 20
Answer:
Peanuts: 20 pounds
Cashews: 10 pounds
Brazil nuts: 20 pounds
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Engineers want to design seats in commercial aircraft so that they are wide enough to fit 98% of all males. Men have hip breadths that are normally distributed with a mean of 14.4 inches and a standard deviation of 1 inch. find P98. I really don't understand, help needed please.
-----------------------
Find the z-value with a left tail of 0.98
invNorm(0.98) = 2.0537
-----
Find the corresponding x-value using x = zs+u
----
x = 2.0537*1+14.4
---
x = 16.45 inches

Answer:
4f
Step-by-step explanation: multiply the outside number (1) by the number inside the parenthesis (4) and then add the letter.
We know that if K is between H and J that HK+KJ=HJ therefore by substitution, x-5+5x-12=25
6x-17=25
6x=42
x=7
