Answer:
Number of pounds of cashews = x = 14.96 pounds
Number of pounds of Brazil nuts = y = 19.04 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us represent:
Number of pounds of cashews = x
Number of pounds of Brazil nuts = y
The nut shack sells cashews for $6.00 per pound and Brazil nuts for $5.00 per pound. How much of each type should be used to make a 34 pound mixture that sells for $5.44 per pound
Our system of equations is given as:
x + y = 34...... Equation 1
x = 34 - y
6x + 5y = 34 × 5.44
6x + 5y = 184.96.......Equation 2
Ww substitute : 34 - y for x in Equation 2
6(34 - y) + 5y = 184.96
204 - 6y + 5y = 184.96
Collect like terms
- 6y + 5y = 184.96 - 204
-y = -19.04
y = 19.04 pounds
Solving for x
x = 34 - y
x = 34 - 19.04
x = 14.96 pounds
Number of pounds of cashews = x = 14.96 pounds
Number of pounds of Brazil nuts = y = 19.04 pounds
Since the two measures are vertical angles, you want to set them equal to each other :
6x+7=8x-17
-6x -6x
——————
7=2x-17
+17 +17
———————
24= 2x
X= 12
———
The answer is 12.

Answer:
1. Why does the graph not start at zero?
It doesn't start at zero because all ovens start at 350°(probably less, but normally 350°) and not zero degrees.
2. What does it mean when the graph flattens out?
When the graph flattens out, it means that the temperature doesn't increase nor decrease, but instead it remains the same.
