Answer:
50 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Dan and june mix two kind of feed for pedigreed dogs
Feed A worth is $0.26 per pound
Feed B worth is $0.40 per pound
Let x represent the cheaper amount of feed and y the costlier type of feed
x+y= 70..........equation 1
0.26x + 0.40y= 0.30×70
0.26x + 0.40y= 21.........equation 2
From equation 1
x + y= 70
x= 70-y
Substitutes 70-y for x in equation 2
0.26(70-y) + 0.40y= 21
18.2-0.26y+0.40y= 21
18.2+0.14y= 21
0.14y= 21-18.2
0.14y= 2.8
Divide both sides by the coefficient of y which is 0.14
0.14y/0.14= 2.8/0.14
y= 20
Substitute 20 for y in equation 1
x + y= 70
x + 20= 70
x= 70-20
x = 50
Hence Dan and june should use 50 pounds of the cheaper kind in the mix
Answers:
a = 2
b = 3
=======================================================
Explanation:
Plug in x = 0 and y = 2 to find that
y = a*b^x
2 = a*b^0
2 = a*1
2 = a
a = 2
Then plug in x = 3 and y = 54 to determine the value of b
y = a*b^x
y = 2*b^x
54 = 2*b^3
2b^3 = 54
b^3 = 54/2
b^3 = 27
b = (27)^(1/3)
b = 3
So we have y = a*b^x update to y = 2*3^x
Answer: 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of 2 point baskets made and y be the number of 3 point baskets made
:
1) x + y = 26
:
2) 2x + 3y = 60
:
solve equation 1 for x and substitute in equation 2
:
x = 26 - y
:
2(26 - y) +3y = 60
:
52 -2y +3y = 60
:
y = 8
:
x = 26 - 8 = 18

******************************
The team made 18 2-point shots
G equals 4, as side both sides by 2, then add three, and divide by four.
7 1/4 + 5 3/5
First, you need a common denominator to add the two. 20 will work.
4x5=20, so we have to also multiply 1 by 5.
4x5=20, 1x5=5
5x4=20, so we have to also multiply 3 by 4.
5x4=20, 3x4=12
And now we put the fractions back in.
7 5/20 + 5 12/20
And add them.
7 5/20 + 5 12/20 = 12 17/20
Now, we're supposed to reduce it to its lowest form.
Unfortunately, the fraction cannot be reduced, because 17 is a prime number, meaning there are no factors to it except one and itself.
Therefore, the lowest form of 12 17/20 is 12 17/20
Your answer is B, 12 17/20
