5.3
or
5.4
or
5.48
Any of these is a rational number between 5.2 and 5.5.
Answer:
14 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equations can be solved for y by substituting for x. The first equation is convenient for writing x in terms of y.
<h3>Solution</h3>
x = 20 -y . . . . . . . subtract y from the first equation
7(20 -y) +5.5y = 119 . . . . . substitute for x in the second equation
140 -1.5y = 119 . . . . . . . . simplify
21 = 1.5y . . . . . . . . . . . add 1.5y -119 to both sides
14 = y . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 1.5
14 pounds of soy nuts should be used in the mixture.

<em>Additional comment</em>
There are many ways to solve a system of two linear equations. The attachments shows a matrix solution using a suitable calculator. It tells us that x=6 and y=14, as we found above.
A "triangle" with the angles 0, 90, and 90 degrees cannot be considered a triangle since the two 90 degree angles make a right angle, and 0 degrees would mean a flat line. Rather it would resemble something like a straight U that is stretched sideways.
Alex bought all the string needed for $125.
It costs $18 for the remaining materials to make each puppet.
So if we closely observe then we see that here $125 is the fixed cost because its not going to change with number of puppets.
And the variable cost is $18.
In this case we can model a Total cost function C(x) for for x number of puppets as below

The total cost to make 50 puppets=$1025
Answer:
B. 81 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
If we plug everything into the equation it should look like this:

Then we would subtract 1 from both sides, then we are left with <em>w:</em>
