Answer:

She combines 9.3 kg of each.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = amount of brand A in kg

Let y = amount of peanuts in kg

First we deal with the amount of each product she uses.

"Ashley sells 18.6 kg bags of mixed nuts that contain 60% peanuts."

x + y = 18.6

Now we deal with just the amount of peanuts.

"To make her product she adds peanuts to Brand A's mixed nuts which contain 20% peanuts."

Brand A contains 20% peanuts, so x kg of brand A contains 0.2x kg of peanuts.

The peanuts she adds are pure peanuts, so all of y is peanuts.

The result is 18.6 kg of a mixture that is 60% peanuts, so the amount of peanuts in the bags she sells is 0.6 * 18.6 kg.

0.2x + y = 0.6 * 18.6

0.2x + y = 11.16

We have a system of equations:

x + y = 18.6

0.2x + y = 11.16

We have y in both equations, so let's subtract the second equation from the first equation to eliminate y.

0.8x = 7.44

Divide both sides by 0.8

x = 9.3

Plug in 9.3 for x in the first equation of the system and solve for y.

x + y = 18.6

9.3 + y = 18.6

y = 9.3

Answer: She combines 9.3 kg of each.

The average speed to go by car from home to college is 30 miles per hour. The average speed to go back home from college is 20 m
Levart [38]

Answer:

24 mph for both 60 miles and 40 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find how long it takes to get to college and from it.

Speed x time (x) = Distance (60)

30x = 60

x=2

It takes two hours to get to college

20x = 60

x = 3

It takes 3 hours to get back. It's a total of 5 hours, 2 hours at 30mph and 3 at 20. Now we need to find the average

30+30+20+20+20=120

120/5= 24

The average speed for the round trip is 24.

To do the second part, we follow the same process, but replace 60 with 40 for distance.

30x=40

x= 1.33

20x=40

x=2

We can add the total distance and divide by total time to find the average.

The total distance is 80. Time is 3.33

80/3.33=24

The average speed is still 24.

Elena-2011 [213]
<h3>Answer: D) 0</h3>

Work Shown:

f(x) = 4x^(-2) + (1/4)x^2 + 4

f ' (x) = 4*(-2)x^(-3) + (1/4)*2x .... power rule

f ' (x) = -8x^(-3) + (1/2)x

f ' (2) = -8(2)^(-3) + (1/2)*(2)

f ' (2) = 0
