Let:
x = Pounds of walnuts in the mix.
Each pound of walnuts costs $0.80. thus x pounds of walnuts cost 0.8x dollars.
Each pound of cashews costs $1.25 and the mix will contain 8 pounds of cashews, so the cost is 8*$1.25 = $10
The total cost of the mix is, therefore: 0.8x + 10 dollars.
We are also given the pound of mix costs $1.00 and we have a total of 8 + x pounds, so the total cost of the mix is 1*(8 + x) dollars.
Equating both costs:
0.8x + 10 = 1*(8 + x)
Operating:
0.8x + 10 = 8 + x
Subtracting x and 10:
0.8x - x = 8 - 10
Simplifying:
-0.2x = -2
Dividing by -0.2:
x = -2/(-0.2)
x = 10
Answer: 10 pounds
We are to find the time at which the height of basketball thrown by Eli and Karl is equal. We have the functions which model the heights of both basketballs. So by equating the functions representing the height of both basketballs we can find the value of x from that equation at which the height is same for both basketballs.

Thus after 1.25 seconds the height of basketballs thrown by Eli and Karl will be at the same height. This can be verified by finding the heights of both at x=1.25
For Eli:

For Karl:

Thus height of both basketball is equal after 1.25 seconds
Given:
Point (7,12) is rotated 1260° counterclockwise about the origin.
To find:
The x-coordinate of the point after this rotation.
Solution:
If a point is rotated 360 degrees then its coordinates remains unchanged.
If a point is rotated 180 counterclockwise about the origin degrees, then

We know that,


After
rotation the coordinates of points remains same, i.e., (7,12). So, after that (7,12) is rotated 180° counterclockwise about the origin.

The point (7,12) becomes (-7,-12) after rotation of 1260° counterclockwise about the origin.
Therefore, the x-coordinate of the required point is -7.
