Let x = pounds of $12 per pound coffee
then
20-x = pounds of $9 per pound coffee
.
12x + 9(20-x) = 10(20)
12x + 180 - 9x = 200
3x + 180 = 200
3x = 20
x = 20/3
x = 6 and 2/3 pounds of $12 per pound coffee
.
Amount of $9 per pound coffee:
20-x = 20-20/3 = 60/3 - 20/3 = 40/3
or
13 and 1/3 pounds of $9 per pound coffee
Answer: 5 weeks
Explanation:
Jess starts with $22 and saves $5 per week, Rosie has $10 and saves $8 per week.
In order to find an equal amount of money between the two girls is by finding a common denominator.
Jess- 22, 27, 32, 37, 42
Rosie- 10, 18, 26, 34, 42
Since we found that they can both end up with $42, after a certain amount of weeks have passed, now you’ll want to count how many numbers are in each row to find the amount of weeks it took to get to an equal amount
1.76x5=
8.8
So, carl spent $8.80 on relish
Hope this helps!
Answer:
The solution is (3/8, -7/8).
Step-by-step explanation:
y = −5x + 1
y = 3x − 2
Since the 2 expressions in x are both equal to y :
−5x + 1 = 3x - 2
-5x - 3x = -2 - 1
-8x = -3
x = 3/8.
So y = 3x - 2
= 3(3/8) - 2
= 9/8 - 2 = -7/8.
