Answer:

Pounds of raisins = 1.5 lb

Pounds of cashew = 3.5 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Pounds of raisins = x

Pounds of cashew = y

x + y = 5 (1)

4.50x + 9.50y = 40 (2)

From (1)

x = 5 - y

Substitute x = 5 - y into

4.50x + 9.50y = 40

4.50(5 - y) + 9.50y = 40

22.50 - 4.50y + 9.50y = 40

- 4.50y + 9.50y = 40 - 22.50

5y = 17.5

y = 17.5 / 5

= 3.5

y = 3.5lb

Substitute y = 3.5 into

x + y = 5

x + 3.5 = 5

x = 5 - 3.5

= 1.5

x = 1.5lb

Pounds of raisins = 1.5 lb

Pounds of cashew = 3.5 lb

aivan3 [116]

For question a) you can do 2 x 7 sine their are 7 days in a week 2 x 7 = 19 so by the end of each week Carmen has $19. in 10 weeks she will have $20 dollars. if in 10 weeks she has $20 wait if it is time two there can't be 35 try 17 cause that's closes so in 17 she will have $36. Same thing Lilly starts with $10 each week she gets $1 a week so 1 x 7 = 7 and since she started with $ 10 she has $17 Lilly must earn 19 dollars to be equal with Carmen. Hope this helps

First we find x of p:

x = 2 \times ( - 3) - \frac{1}{2} \times 4 + \frac{2}{5} \times 5 \\ = - 6 - 2 + 2 = - 6

then we find y of p:

y = 2 \times 2 - \frac{1}{2} \times ( - 6) - \frac{2}{5} \times ( - 10) \\ = 4 + 3 + 4 = 11

so

p = \binom{ - 6}{11}

and

|p| = \sqrt{ {( - 6)}^{2} + {11}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{36 + 121} = \sqrt{157} = 12.53
