Answer:

9lb chocolate candies

6lb sugar candies

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, I also happen to go to RSM. (6b)

Equation: 7x+2(15-x)=5*15

Solve:

7x+(2)(15)+(2)(−x)=(5)(15)

7x+30+(−2x)=75

(7x+(−2x))+(30)=75

5x+30=75

5x=45

x=9lb chocolate candies

Now, calculate the sugar candies.

15-9=6lb sugar candies

Answer: 9 pounds of chocolate and 6 pounds of sugar candies

Let's define the variables:

C = pounds of chocolate candies used.

S = pounds of sugar candies used.

We know that he wants to make a total of 15lb, then:

C + S = 15

We also want that the price per pound to be equal to 5$.

This means that the price of the 15 pounds will be the same as the price of the un-mixed candies.

C*$7.00 + $2.00*S = $5.00*15

Then we have a system of equations:

C + S = 15

C*$7.00 + $2.00*S = $5.00*15

To solve this system, we need to start by isolating one of the variables, i will isolate C in the first equation:

C = 15 - S

now we can replace that in the other equation:

(15 - S)*$7.00 + $2.00*S = $5.00*15

Now we can solve this for S.

$105 - $5.00*S = $75

$105 - $75 = $5.00*S

$30 = $5.00*S

$30/$5 = S = 6

Then there are 6 pounds of sugar candy, and we can use the equation:

C + S = 15

C + 6 = 15

C = 15 - 6 = 9

There are 9 pounds of chocolate candy in the mix.

For what real value of $v$ is $\frac{-21-\sqrt{301}}{10}$ a root of $5x^2+21x+v$?
Degger [83]

Answer:

v = 7

is the value for which

x = (-21 - √301)/10

is a solution to the quadratic equation

5x² + 21x + v = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

x = (-21 - √301)/10 .....................(1)

is a root of the quadratic equation

5x² + 21x + v = 0 ........................(2)

We want to find the value of v foe which the equation is true.

Consider the quadratic formula

x = [-b ± √(b² - 4av)]/2a ..................(3)

Comparing (3) with (2), notice that

b = 21

2a = 10

=> a = 10/2 = 5

and

b² - 4av = 301

=> 21² - 4(5)v = 301

-20v = 301 - 441

-20v = -140

v = -140/(-20)

v = 7

That is a = 5, b = 21, and v = 7

The equation is then

5x² + 21x + 7 = 0

How do the 8 differ in 38108
kvasek [131]
The left 8 represents 8000 units.
The right 8 represents 8 units.

Their placement in the number is used to signify the multiplier for the number of units they represent. That is why the number system is called a "place value number system." Each time the digit is moved left one place, its value increases by a factor of 10.
