Answer:
BE = 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
find the midpoint of AD
Let x be the number of pounds of the $1.35 beans. The cost of those beans is $1.35 * x, or 1.35x.
<span>Let y be the number of pounds of the $1.05 beans. The cost of those beans is $1.05 * y, or 1.05y. </span>
<span>We know that 120 pounds of the mix sells for $1.15/pound, for a total of 120 * 1.15 = $138. </span>
<span>x + y = 120 </span>
<span>1.35(x) + (1.05)y = 138 </span>
<span>We can rewrite the first as </span>
<span>x = -y + 120 </span>
<span>Now we can substitute (-y + 120) in for (x) in the second equation, because we just proved they're equal. </span>
<span>1.35(x) + 1.05(y) = 138 </span>
<span>1.35(-y + 120) + 1.05y = 138 </span>
<span>-1.35y + 162 + 1.05y = 138 </span>
<span>-0.3y + 162 = 138 </span>
<span>-0.3y = -24 </span>
<span>y = 80 </span>
<span>And since x + y = 120, that means x = 40. </span>
<span>Check: </span>
<span>40 pounds of x at $1.35 costs 40 * 1.35, or $54. </span>
<span>80 pounds of y at $1.05 costs 80 * 1.05, or $84. </span>
<span>Do those add up to our target total, according to the question, of 120 * 1.15 = $138? </span>
Answer:
15 over fourz +12
Using the distributive property, 3/4 • 5z equals 15/4z, which can't be simplified. Then 3/4 of 16 is 12. If you divide 16 by 4 (the denominator) and then multiply by 3 (the numerator) that yields your answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
literally just got asked this question (if that makes sense lol)
so B is your answer
Answer:
51/10, 4 and 1/9, 5.116, and 5.98
Step-by-step explanation:
least to greatest
Answer:
x = 2
y = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve using substitution, substitute y in the first equation with the second equation:
-(-6x + 12) + 3x = 6
Distribute the negative sign:
6x - 12 + 3x = 6
Combine like terms:
9x - 12 = 6
Isolate the variable and solve for x by adding 12 in both sides:
9x = 18
x = 2
Substitute 2 with x in any equation to find the value of y:
-y + 3(2) = 6
-y + 6 = 6
Subtract 6 in both sides to isolate the variable:
-y = 0
0/-1 = 0
y = 0
Our answer would be x = 2 and y = 0
