Answer:

The candles will be the same height at 10 pm.

Step by step explanation:

12 - 0.5x = 18 - 2x  

12 + 1.5h = 18

1.5h = 6

h = 4  

4 hours

4 hours after 6 pm. is 10pm.

Yolanda's Coffee Shop makes a blend that is a mixture of two types of coffee. Type A coffee costs Yolanda $5.20 per pound, and t
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

78 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say Yolanda makes a pounds of Type A coffee and b pounds of Type B coffee. Since the total number of pounds is 130, we can write the equation:

a + b = 130

We know the cost of Type A coffee is $5.20/lb and the cost of Type B coffee is $4.05/lb, so since the total cost is $586.30, we can write:

5.20a + 4.05b = 586.30

We can now solve the system of equations:

a + b = 130

5.20a + 4.05b = 586.30

Manipulate the first equation by subtracting b from both sides:

a + b = 130

a = 130 - b

Substitute 130 - b for a in the second equation:

5.20a + 4.05b = 586.30

5.20 * (130 - b) + 4.05b = 586.30

676 - 5.20b + 4.05b = 586.30

Move the terms with b to one side:

1.15b = 89.70

b = 78

Thus, Yolanda used 78 pounds of Type B coffee.

I’m a little confused with this? Can someone walk me through this?
mina [271]

Answer:

A. 5.8

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given graph d has two coordinates;

the first coordinates of d = (0, 0)

the second coordinate of d = (-3 , -5), that is x = -3 when traced up and y = -5 when traced horizontal

The distance between the two coordinates = distance of d;

distance \ between \ two \ coordinates = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 \ + \ (y_2-y_1)^2} \\\\d =  \sqrt{(-3-0)^2 \ + \ (-5-0)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{9 \ + \ 25} \\\\d = \sqrt{34} \\\\d = 5.83\\\\d = 5.8

Option A is correct

Y varies directly with x and y=8 when x=-5
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

Y=K×X...... equation

When,Y=8 and X=-5

To find the constant (K)

we substitute for K in the equation

8=K×-5

8=-5K divide both sides by -5

8÷-5=-5K÷-5

K=-1.6
