Answer:
78 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say Yolanda makes a pounds of Type A coffee and b pounds of Type B coffee. Since the total number of pounds is 130, we can write the equation:
a + b = 130
We know the cost of Type A coffee is $5.20/lb and the cost of Type B coffee is $4.05/lb, so since the total cost is $586.30, we can write:
5.20a + 4.05b = 586.30
We can now solve the system of equations:
a + b = 130
5.20a + 4.05b = 586.30
Manipulate the first equation by subtracting b from both sides:
a + b = 130
a = 130 - b
Substitute 130 - b for a in the second equation:
5.20a + 4.05b = 586.30
5.20 * (130 - b) + 4.05b = 586.30
676 - 5.20b + 4.05b = 586.30
Move the terms with b to one side:
1.15b = 89.70
b = 78
Thus, Yolanda used 78 pounds of Type B coffee.

Answer:
y = 9.8995
Step-by-step explanation:
This question requires the use of basic trigonometry.
In this problem, we know one of the sides and two of the angles.
Since one of the angles is 45 degrees and the sum of all internal angles of a triangle is 180 degrees, the other angle can only be 45 degrees, making this an isosceles triangle - that is, the length of the other leg, x, is also 7.
You could use the soh cah toa mnemonic to figure it out, but here just using the a^2 + b^2 = c^2 should be sufficient since we know both legs of the triangle.
7^2 + 7^2 = 98, and the square root of 98 gives you about 9.8995, which sounds about right for this situation.
