How many pounds of candy worth 70 cents a pound must be mixed with 30 pounds of candy worth 90 cents a pound to produce a mixtur
Svet_ta [14]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

B) 10 pounds

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Let x represent the amount of 70¢ candy to be added. The value of the mixture can be written as ...

... 90×30 + 70x = 85×(30+x) . . . . . where 30+x is the total weight of the mix

... 2700 +70x = 2550 +85x

... 150 = 15x . . . . . . add -70x-2550

... 10 = x . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

10 pounds of candy at 70¢/lb must be added.

(3x+2)∧2=9 how do i solve this in the square root property
Irina18 [472]
(3x+2)^2=9 \\\\9x^2+12x+4-9=0\\\\9x^2+12x-5=0\\\\a=9,\ \ b=12, \ \ c=-5

x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\frac{-12-\sqrt{12^2-4 \cdot9 \cdot (-5)}}{2 \cdot 9}=\frac{-12-\sqrt{144+180}}{18}=\\\\=\frac{-12-\sqrt{324}}{18}=\frac{-12-18}{18}=\frac{-30}{18}=-\frac{5}{3}\\\\x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\frac{-12+\sqrt{12^2-4 \cdot9 \cdot (-5)}}{2 \cdot 9}=\frac{-12+18}{18}=\frac{6}{18}=\frac{1}{3} \\\\Answer: \ x=-\frac{5}{3}\ \ and \ \ x=\frac{1}{3}

Find the perimeter of a towel thay measures 2 feet by 3/4 foot
levacccp [35]
A typical towel is the shape of a rectangle.
Rectangles have 2 opposite pairs of congruent (equal) sides.
To find perimeter, find the sums of all the sides.

The measures of the towel's sides are:
2 feet
2 feet
3/4 foot
3/4 foot

Add these together to find the perimeter.

2 + 2 + 0.75 + 0.75 = 5.5

The perimeter of the towel is 5.5 feet.

Hope this helps!
