We let x as the cost of one ounce of Sumatra and y as the cost of one ounce of Celebes Kalossi. For mixture 1, we have 12x + 4y = 32 and for mixture b, we have 4x + 12y = 40
First, Multiply eq. 1 by 4
4(12x + 4y = 32)4 ⇒ 36x + 12y = 96
We now have
(36x + 12y = 96) – (4x + 12y = 40)
<span>X = 1.75 ⇒ cost of one ounce of Sumatra
</span>
Substitute x to either equation to get the value of y
12(1.75) + 4y = 324
y = 32-21
4y = 11
Y = 2.75 ⇒ cost of one ounce of Celebes Kalossi
a trade in is closely related to a down payment because it reduces the amount financed.
The thickness of the board was decreased from 3 / 4 inches to 9 / 16 inches.
Therefore,
So the board's thickness in inches decreased by
Answer:
D. 1 and 20
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the equation, factor the quadratic and set the factors equal to 0.
d^2 - 21d + 20 becomes (d-20)(d-1) since -1*-20 = 20 and -1+-20 = -21.
Set each equal to 0 and solve for x.
d-20 = 0 d = 20
d - 1 = 0 d = 1
