Answer:
Pounds of raisins = 1.5 lb
Pounds of cashew = 3.5 lb
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Pounds of raisins = x
Pounds of cashew = y
x + y = 5 (1)
4.50x + 9.50y = 40 (2)
From (1)
x = 5 - y
Substitute x = 5 - y into
4.50x + 9.50y = 40
4.50(5 - y) + 9.50y = 40
22.50 - 4.50y + 9.50y = 40
- 4.50y + 9.50y = 40 - 22.50
5y = 17.5
y = 17.5 / 5
= 3.5
y = 3.5lb
Substitute y = 3.5 into
x + y = 5
x + 3.5 = 5
x = 5 - 3.5
= 1.5
x = 1.5lb
Pounds of raisins = 1.5 lb
Pounds of cashew = 3.5 lb

x = 14 or —12
Step-by-step explanation:please see attachment for explanation
The number -33 divisors are:
D(-33) = {-33, -11, -3, -1, 1, 3, 11, 33}
a × b = -33
<u>1) -33 × 1 = -33 ⇒ Sum is: -33 + 1 = -32</u>
2) -11 × 3 = -33 ⇒ Sum is: -11 + 3 = -8
3) -3 × 11 = -33 ⇒ Sum is: -3 + 11 = 8
4) -1 × 33 = -33 ⇒ Sum is: -1 + 33 = 32
<u>5) 1 × (-33) = -33 ⇒ Sum is: 1 + (-33) = 1 - 33 = -32</u>
6) 3 × (-11) = -33 ⇒ Sum is: 3 + (-11) = 3 - 11 = -8
7) 11 × (-3) = -33 ⇒ Sum is: 11 + (-3) = 11 - 3 = 8
8) 33 × (-1) = -33 ⇒ Sum is: 33 + (-1) = 33 - 1 = 32
<h2>The least possible sum of a and b is -32</h2>
to 1) and to 5)
