Let:
x = Pounds of walnuts in the mix.
Each pound of walnuts costs $0.80. thus x pounds of walnuts cost 0.8x dollars.
Each pound of cashews costs $1.25 and the mix will contain 8 pounds of cashews, so the cost is 8*$1.25 = $10
The total cost of the mix is, therefore: 0.8x + 10 dollars.
We are also given the pound of mix costs $1.00 and we have a total of 8 + x pounds, so the total cost of the mix is 1*(8 + x) dollars.
Equating both costs:
0.8x + 10 = 1*(8 + x)
Operating:
0.8x + 10 = 8 + x
Subtracting x and 10:
0.8x - x = 8 - 10
Simplifying:
-0.2x = -2
Dividing by -0.2:
x = -2/(-0.2)
x = 10
Answer: 10 pounds
Simply divide 23 and 2/5 bags of apples between 9 friends:
23 and 2/5 bags ÷ 9 friends= 117/5 bags ÷ 9 friends
= 13/5 bags
= 2 and 3/5 bags
Therefore, each friend receives 2 and 3/5 bags of apples.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
4x−7
Step-by-step explanation:
Being given our polynomial:
+ x - 14,
We must find the roots to get our answer.
x = (- 1 ± √(1 - 4*4*(-14)) / 8
x = (- 1 ± √225) / 8
x = ( -1 ± 15) / 8
x₁ = (- 1 + 15)/ 8 = 14/8 = 7 / 4
x₂ = (- 1 - 15) / 8 = - 16/2 = - 8
The factors we came up with:
(x - x₁)(x - x₂)
(x - 7/4)(x + 8)
1/4(4x - 7)(x + 8)
So,
The correct option is C.
