Answer:

  • 25 pounds cashews
  • 15 pounds peanuts

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the number of pounds of cashews in the mix. Then 40-c is the number of pounds of peanuts. The total cost of the mix is ...

  10c +2(40 -c) = 7(40)

  8c +80 = 280 . . . . simplify

  c +10 = 35 . . . . . . . divide by 8

  c = 25 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 10

  40-c = 40-25 = 15 . . . . pounds of peanuts

25 pounds of cashews and 15 pounds of peanuts should be used in the mix.

Sergey is solving 5x2 + 20% – 7 = 0. Which steps could he use to solve the quadratic equation by completing the
Mrac [35]

Answer:

5(x^2+4x)=7

5(x^2+4x+4)=7+20

(x+2)=\pm\sqrt{\frac{27}{5}}

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

5x^2+20x-7=0

step 1

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

5x^2+20x=7

step 2

Factor 5 left side

5(x^2+4x)=7

step 3

Complete the square

5(x^2+4x+2^2)=7+2^2(5)

5(x^2+4x+4)=7+20

5(x^2+4x+4)=27

step 4

Rewrite as perfect squares

5(x+2)^2=27

step 5

(x+2)^2=\frac{27}{5}

(x+2)=\pm\sqrt{\frac{27}{5}}

(x+2)=\pm\frac{3\sqrt{15}}{5}

step 6

x=-2\pm\frac{3\sqrt{15}}{5}
