A merchant has coffee worth $40 a pound that she wishes to mix

Mathematics
1 answer:
pantera1 [17]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = the number of pounds of cheaper coffee.

Since the merchant is mixing this with more expensive coffee, then

x + 60 = the number of pounds of medium priced mixed coffee.

The equation is gotten from this

+  =  

(x)($40)  + (60)($90)   = (x + 60)($70) or

            40x + 5400 = 70(x + 60)

Solve that equation and get x = 40

Answer: 40 pounds of $40 coffee.

i hope this helped

FIRST ANSWER GETS BRANLIEST
Darina [25.2K]

There are two steps to this problem. The first step is to make an equation for the cost of each company. The cost of each one involves 2 variables. However, we can ignore the number of days since the question asks for per day.

CostA = 90 + .40(miles)

CostB = 30 + .70(miles)

We want to know when A is a better deal or when A costs less. That is when CostA < CostB. We can then substitute the right sides of our equations into the inequality. This will give:

90 + .40(miles) < 30 + .70(miles)     This is where we will now begin to solve for the number of miles.

-30                      -30                       Subtract 30 from both sides.

60 + .4(miles) < .7(miles)                Simplify

      -.4(miles)   -.4(miles)                Subtract .4(miles) from both sides

60 < .3(miles)                                 Simplify

/.3     /.3                                        Divide both sides by .3

200 < miles                                   Simplify

So for A to cost less the number of miles must be greater than 200.

THEIR AGES
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Tom’s age is 7 years

Mary’s age is 13 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we do not know the ages, let’s represent the ages by variables at first.

Let m represent mary’s age will t represent Tom’s age.

Now, let’s proceed to have equations.

Adding square of Tom’s age (t^2) to mary’s age give 62

t^2 + m = 62 •••••••(i)

Adding square of mary’s age (m^2) to Tom’s age give 176

m^2 + t = 176 •••••••(ii)

Now, to get the individual ages, we will need to solve both equations simultaneously.

Solving both equations simultaneously without mathematical softwares can be a little hard.

By the use of mathematical software ( wolfram alpha to be specific), we can input both equations and allow the software to solve.

By inputing these equations, we have the values of t to be 7 and m to be 13

And if we try to check by inspection, we can see that these values are actually correct.

7^2 + 13 = 62

13^2 + 7 = 176

Step-by-step explanation:

y is 15.49

Formula is b = √c^2-a^2

You could use sine [ opposite/hypotenuse ],

Cosine [adjacent/hypotenuse]

or Tangent [ opposite/adjacent ]

to find theta

Theta is 75.522
