Answer:

  • 100 pounds Earl Grey
  • 300 pounds Orange Pekoe

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of Earl Gray tea in the mix. Then the total cost of the mix is ...

  6x +4(400-x)=4.50(400)

  2x +1600 = 1800 . . . . . . . simplify

  2x = 200 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 1600

  x = 100 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2. Pounds of Earl Grey

  (400 -x) = 300 . . . . . Pounds of Orange Pekoe

The blend should have 100 pounds of Earl Grey and 300 pounds of Orange Pekoe.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

It is easy to show that the relationship between the quantities of high-cost (H) and low-cost (L) items in the mix (M) is ...

  fraction of mix that is H is (M -L)/(H -L)

Here, we have H=6, L=4, M=4.5, so the fraction of the mix that is Earl Grey is ...

  (4.5 -4)/(6 -4) = 0.5/2 = 0.25

There are 400 pounds of mix, so 0.25(400) = 100 pounds is Earl Grey.

The solution above is essentially 2-step, so using this relation doesn't necessarily save any steps. It just makes it possible to solve the problem in your head.

Find the value of x<br><br>m&lt;2 = 9x - 1​
jasenka [17]

Answer: x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

The bottom triangle that has a 40° is an isosceles triangle, therefore the other angle at the bottom right is also 40°. This leaves the top angle to be 100°.

180=40+40+x

180=80+x

x=100

Now, to find ∠2, you can tell it is a supplementary angle. Therefore, the 2 angles add up to 180°

180-100=∠2

80°=∠2

The problem states that ∠2 is 9x-1. We know that ∠2 is 80°. We can solve for x.

80=9x-1

81=9x

x=9

woodland Mound Park sells annual visitors passes for $12.50. Last year the park raised $53,500 in annual visitors pass sales. Ho
maria [59]

Answer:

4,280\ passes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of annual visitors pass sold

we know that

To find out the number of annual visitor passes sold, divide the total amount raised by the cost of a pass.

so

The linear equation that represent this problem is

12.50x=53,500

Solve for x

Divide by 12.50 both sides

x=\frac{53,500}{12.50}=4,280\ passes

Suppose that NOP is isosceles with base.
NemiM [27]

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>In isocseles triangle, base angles </u><u>are</u><u> equal</u> :

base angles are angle N and angle P:

angle N=angle P

3x+17=4x+2

4x-3x=17-2

x=15

<u>F</u><u>o</u><u>r</u><u> </u><u>a</u><u>n</u><u>g</u><u>l</u><u>e</u><u> </u><u>N</u><u>:</u>

subtitute x in angle N

=3(15)+17

=45+17

=62

<u>F</u><u>o</u><u>r</u><u> </u><u>a</u><u>n</u><u>g</u><u>l</u><u>e</u><u> </u><u>P</u><u>:</u>

subtitute x in angle P:

=4(15)+2

=60+2

=62

<u>F</u><u>o</u><u>r</u><u> </u><u>a</u><u>n</u><u>g</u><u>l</u><u>e</u><u> </u><u>O</u><u>:</u>

sum of all angles in a triangle is 180.

angle N +angle P+angle O=180

62+62+angle O=180

angle O=180-62-62

angle O=56
