Let A = the weight of arbequina olives in the mix
Let G = the weight of green olives in the mix

Since we know that the mix is 5 pounds total, we have this:
G + A = 5
G = 5 - A

We are asked for 5 pounds of mix that will sell for $6 per pound, so the total cost is $30.


Therefore, we can form the following equation:

A*9 + G*4 = 30

Using substitution, we can express G in terms of A:

9A + 4*(5-A) = 30
9A + 20 -4A = 30
5A + 20 = 30
5A = 10
A = 2

Therefore A = 2 and G = 3

The coordinates A(2, 1), B(7, 1), C(2, 4) form what type of polygon?
Digiron [165]

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope \:  of \:  AB =  \frac{1 - 1}{7 - 2}  =  \frac{0}{5}  = 0 \\  \\ Slope \:  of \:  BC =  \frac{4 - 1}{2 -  7}  =  \frac{3}{ - 5}  =  - \frac{3}{ 5}   \\  \\  \because \: Slope \:  of \:  AB \neq \: Slope \:  of \:  BC \\  \\  \therefore \: given \: points \: are \: non - collinear. \\

Hence, coordinates A(2, 1), B(7, 1), C(2, 4) form a triangle.
