Answer: 30 pounds of coffee beans worth $10.50 per pound was used.
20 pounds of coffee beans worth $13.00 per pound was used.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of coffee beans worth $10.50 per pound that should be mixed.
Let y represent the number of coffee beans worth $13.00 per pound that should be mixed.
50 pounds of beans worth $11.50 per pound is to be made. The total cost of the mixture would be
50 × 11.5 = 575
This means that
10.5x + 13y = 575 - - - - - - - 1
The total number of pounds of each type of coffee used is 50. This means that
x + y = 50
Substituting x = 50 - y into equation 1, it becomes.
10.5(50 - y) + 13y = 575
525 - 10.5y + 13y = 575
- 10.5y + 13y = 575 - 525
2.5y = 50
y = 50/2.5 = 20
x = 50 - 20= 30

Answer: 4x + 0.5y
Step-by-step explanation:
Concept:
Here, we need to understand the idea of the mean (average).
The "mean" is the "average" you're used to, where you add up all the numbers and then divide by the number of numbers.
If you are still confused, please refer to the attachment below for a graphical explanation.
Solve:
**Disclaimer** I assume the question is asking for the arithmetic mean instead of geometric. If it was, then you can refer to my answers. If it was not, then you can point it out and I will redo the question.
Terms: 2x-5y, 5x+2y, 8x+6y, x-y
Number of terms: 4
[(2x-5y) + (5x+2y) + (8x+6y) + (x-y)] / 4
=[2x + 5x + 8x + x + 2y - 5y + 6y - y] / 4
=[16x + 2y] / 4
=4x + 0.5y
Hope this helps!! :)
