Let's begin by assigning a letter to represent our unknown:
x = lbs. of coffee at $7 per lb.

Now let's write an equation to express the cost of mixing the $7 per lb. coffee with the $4 per lb. coffee based upon how many pounds we have of each:
(7)(x) + (4)(10) = (5)(x + 10)

Solving our equation for x:
7x + 40 = 5x + 50
7x - 5x = 50 - 40
2x = 10
x = 5 (lbs. of coffee at $7 per lb.)

We can verify our answer by plugging our answer back into our equation and checking to see that both sides balance:
(7)(x) + (4)(10) = 5(x + 10)
(7)(5) + 40 = 5(5 + 10)
35 + 40 = 25 + 50
75 = 75 (both sides balance)

Since both sides balance, we are confident that our answer is correct.
Hope this helps !

3. Solve 2log4y - log4 (5y - 12) = 1/2<br>​
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

y =  4  or y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

2log4y - log4 (5y - 12) = 1/2

​2log_4(y) - log_4(5y-12) = log_4(2)           apply law of logarithms

log_4(y^2) + log_4(1/(5y-12)) = log_4(/2)    apply law of logarithms

log_4(y^2/(5y-12)) = log_4(2)                     remove logarithm

y^2/(5y-12) = 2                                            cross multiply

y^2 = 10y-24                                                  rearrange and factor

y^2 - 10y + 24 = 0

(y-4)(y-6) = 0

y= 4 or y=6
