Answer:

C) 6 lbs peanuts, 3 lbs almonds, 2 lbs raisins

Step-by-step explanation:

Your goal is to find out how many of each item will equate to 21 dollars. Your function is as follows:

1.5x+3y+1.5z=21

Where x, y, z are peanuts, almonds, raisins respectively (in that order). 21 is the total cost of the mixture.

All you have to do is start plugging in the variables given in the answer choices.

<u>A) Peanuts (x) = 3, Almonds (y) = 6, Raisins (z) = 2</u>

Everywhere you see x,y,z, you replace with their value.

1.5x+3y+1.5z=21\\1.5(3)+3(6)+1.5(2)=21\\4.5+12+3=21\\\\19.5 \neq 21

A doesn't equal 21. On to the next one.

<u>B) Peanuts (x) = 8, Almonds (y) = 6, Raisins (z) = 2</u>

Everywhere you see x,y,z, you replace with their value.

1.5x+3y+1.5z=21\\1.5(8)+3(1)+1.5(2)=21\\12+3+3=21\\\\18 \neq 21

B also doesn't equal 21. On to the next one...

<u>C) Peanuts (x) = 6, Almonds (y) = 3, Raisins (z) = 2</u>

Everywhere you see x,y,z you replace with their value.

1.5x+3y+1.5z=21\\1.5(6)+3(3)+1.5(2)=21\\9+9+3=21\\\\\\21 = 21

Both sides of the equation equal 21 which means C is our answer.

Find the value of x.
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

x=11

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The <u><em>Midpoint Theorem</em></u> states that the segment joining two sides of a triangle at the midpoints of those sides is parallel to the third side and is half the length of the third side.

so

In this problem

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

solve for x

Multiply by 2 both sides

2x+10=3x-1

subtract 2x both sides

10=3x-1-2x

10=x-1

Adds 1 both sides

x=11

Metallic silver has a density of 10.50. what is the mass, in g, of a silver ingot that is 28.0 cm long, 4.90 cm wide, and 3.60 c
frozen [14]

Answer:

5190 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the volume:

28.0 cm × 4.90 cm × 3.60 cm = 493.92 cm³

Density is mass divided by volume:

D = M / V

Solving for mass:

M = D V

Substituting values:

M = (10.50 g/cm³) (493.92 cm³)

M = 5186.16 g

Rounding to three significant figures, the mass is 5190 g.

Michelle needs to buy some wood to build a rectangular box that is 12 inches long 8 inches wide and 10 inches high and net worth
Anettt [7]
Since it’s asking for square inches on a rectangular prism, this is solving for surface area. So we use the following formula:
2(h*w)+2(h*l)+2(w*l)=A

2(10*8)+2(10*12)+2(8*12)
2(80)+2(120)+2(96)
160+240+192
592

592 sq. in.
