Answer:

well let’s break this down

Let’s make type a coffee “a”

And type b coffee “b”

a is 4.35

b is 5.70

We knwo that b is twice as many as a

The total is 614.25

So we can do soemthing like this

4.35a+ (5.70b)2 = 614.25

Now solve

If we simplify its really

4.35a+11.40b =614.25

I like multiply by a 100 to get rid of decimals

435a+1140b=61425

Here we can go 2 ways

We can isoalte a or b

im gonna isloate b

so it would be (61425-435a)/1140 =b

Now we can use that as a subsitube to find a

Now we can just do this

435a +1140(61425-435a)/1140 = 61425

Pop it through an algebra calculator (just search up math pa..Pa and copy paste it, edit if needed) and then you’d get your answer

6. Find the area of a triangle with sides a = 5, b = 8, and c = 11.​
Colt1911 [192]
<h2>20</h2>

Hi, I’m Lena and I’ll be here to answer your question with a good-quality answer. If there's something I can improve, let me know! ツ

♡ Let’s look at the main important things that will lead you in the correct path.

♥ <em>a </em>+<em> b</em> usually = <em>c!</em> Unless the book asks you to find a specific variable, you will most likely be looking for <em>c</em>.

♥ <em>A</em> = <em>bh</em>/2! This is the formula for the area of a triangle. You can also read this as A = base * height/2. The good thing about this formula is you don't need a picture. You can write it as <em>a</em> * b<em> </em>or <em>b</em> * <em>a!</em>

<em />

♡ Now, let's solve!

♥ Plug the numbers into the formula: 5*8/2.

♥ Solve! In this case, we do not need c: 40/2 = 20.

Your answer should be 20! Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions.
