Answer:
B. (1,5) and (5.25, 3.94)
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is where the 2 equations intersect.
We need to solve the following system of equations:
y = -x^2 + 6x
4y = 21 - x
From the second equation:
x = 21 - 4y
Plug this into the first equation:
y = -(21 - 4y)^2 + 6(21 - 4y)
y = -(441 - 168y + 16y^2)+ 126 - 24y
y = -441 + 168y - 16y^2 + 126 - 24y
16y^2 + y - 168y + 24y + 441 - 126 = 0
16y^2 - 143y + 315 = 0
y = [-(-143) +/- sqrt ((-143)^2 - 4 * 16 * 315)]/ (2*16)
y = 5, 3.938
When y = 5:
x = 21 - 4(5) = 1
When y = 3.938
x = 21 - 4(3.938) = 5.25.
Answer:
37.50 and 84.97
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
no
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of pounds of cashews is 36 pounds and number of pounds of walnuts is 4 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Given details are cost of cashews = $1.58, cost of walnuts = 78 cents = $0.78, total weight of nuts = 40 pounds, cost of nuts per pound = $1.50
- Step 2: Let number of pounds of cashews to be mixed be C, then number of pounds of walnuts will 40 - C. Form equation with these variables.
⇒ 1.58 C + (40-C) 0.78 = 40 × 1.50
⇒ 1.58 C + 31.2 - 0.78 C = 60
⇒ 1.58 C - 0.78 C = 60 - 31.2
⇒ 0.8 C = 28.8
⇒ C = 36 pounds
- Step 3: Calculate number of pounds of walnuts
⇒ Number of pounds of walnuts = 40 - C = 4 pounds
