Let x be the number of pounds of the $1.35 beans. The cost of those beans is $1.35 * x, or 1.35x.
<span>Let y be the number of pounds of the $1.05 beans. The cost of those beans is $1.05 * y, or 1.05y. </span>
<span>We know that 120 pounds of the mix sells for $1.15/pound, for a total of 120 * 1.15 = $138. </span>
<span>x + y = 120 </span>
<span>1.35(x) + (1.05)y = 138 </span>
<span>We can rewrite the first as </span>
<span>x = -y + 120 </span>
<span>Now we can substitute (-y + 120) in for (x) in the second equation, because we just proved they're equal. </span>
<span>1.35(x) + 1.05(y) = 138 </span>
<span>1.35(-y + 120) + 1.05y = 138 </span>
<span>-1.35y + 162 + 1.05y = 138 </span>
<span>-0.3y + 162 = 138 </span>
<span>-0.3y = -24 </span>
<span>y = 80 </span>
<span>And since x + y = 120, that means x = 40. </span>
<span>Check: </span>
<span>40 pounds of x at $1.35 costs 40 * 1.35, or $54. </span>
<span>80 pounds of y at $1.05 costs 80 * 1.05, or $84. </span>
<span>Do those add up to our target total, according to the question, of 120 * 1.15 = $138? </span>
Answer:
The number is -9.
Step-by-step explanation:
If we let the number be x we have the equation 6x + 7 = -47.
6x + 7 - 7 = -47 - 7
6x = -54
x = 054/6
x = -9.
ANSWER
EXPLANATION
From the Pascal's triangle,
The coefficients are :
1, 5, 10,10, 5,1
Because of the negative sign, the expansion will alternate sign.
We now put y=5 into the expansion to get,
Answer:
y=32x-32
Step-by-step explanation:
this time no algorithm or equation was needed i saw that if the equation was y=32x there would be ordered pairs (1,32) and (2,64) so to delay it by 1 on the x side just subtract the slope from the y - intercept sorry if that doesn't make sense
