Let
x = pounds of peanuts
y = pounds of cashews
z = pounds of Brazil nuts.
The total pounds is 50, therefore
x + y + z = 50 (1)
The total cost is $6.60 per pound for 50 pounds of mixture.
The total is equal to the sum of the costs of the different nuts.
Because the cost for peanuts, cashews, and Brazil nuts are $3, $10, and $9 respectively, therefore
3x + 10y + 9z = 50*6.8
3x + 10y + 9z = 340 (2)
There are 10 fewer pounds of cashews than peanuts, therefore
x = y + 10 (3)
Substitute (3) into (1) and (2).
y + 10 + y + z = 50
2y + z = 40 (4)
3(y + 10) + 10y + 9z = 340
13y + 9z = 310 (5)
From (4),
z = 40 - 2y (6)
Substitute (6) into (5).
13y + 9(40 - 2y) = 310
-5y = -50
y = 10
z = 40 - 2y = 40 - 20 = 20
x = y + 10 = 20
Answer:
Peanuts: 20 pounds
Cashews: 10 pounds
Brazil nuts: 20 pounds
The zeros are 2 and 4, so obviously either A or C, (eliminate B and D which have zeros of -2 and -4.)
the y intercept is -16. Plug x=0 in A and C to see which equation produce a result -16. C is correct.
I'm terrible at math, so I'm sorry if I'm totally wrong, but I'm assuming you just take the average:
20+28=48m
48/2=24m
On average, it may take them 24m if they work together.
Answer:
exactly what it says
Step-by-step explanation:
you see the numbers on f and g??
(F x G)x(-1)
If the series is made up of numbers in an arithmetic progression, you have
where
is the first term and
is the common difference between terms.
Since the last term in the series is
, you have
Solve the system
and you'll find that the first term is
(with
).
