84 pounds of Type B coffee is used
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let "x" be the pounds of type A coffee
Let "y" be the pounds of type B coffee
Cost per pound of type A = $ 5.50
Cost per pound of Type B = $ 4.20
<em><u>This month, Chau made 143 pounds of the blend</u></em>
x + y = 143
x = 143 - y -------- eqn 1
<em><u>For a total cost of $677.30. Thus we frame a equation as:</u></em>
pounds of type A coffee x Cost per pound of type A + pounds of type B coffee x Cost per pound of Type B = 677.30

<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>
<em><u>Substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2</u></em>

Thus 84 pounds of Type B coffee is used
Answer:
2.3 pints
Step-by-step explanation:
4.6 cups = 2.3 pints
No because for example (4-2)(x) is not the same as (2-4)(x). It would be negative
Factorize the left hand side and equate the factors to zero.
Then, use the notation that : sec x = 1/cosx and csc x = 1/sinx
Result: x = ± π3 + 2πk , k∈Z
