Let x = pounds of chocolate we need to find.

17.60x + 23(3.70) = 8.47(x + 23)

Answer:

2.12 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write an expression relating the cost of chocolate and trail mix to the total cost of the mixture. Let x by the number of pounds of chocolate needed:

We know the total cost is $8.47. We know that the price of the chocolate per pounds is:

17.60/x

and the total price of the trail mix per pound is:

=3.7/23=0.16

Therefore the expression must be writen per pound mixture:

8.47=17.60/x+0.16

We can solve x by multiplying by x:

8.47\cdot{x}=17.60+0.16\cdot{x}

Solve for x:

8.47\cdot{x}-0.16\cdot{x}=17.60

8.31\cdot{x}=17.60

x=17.60/8.31=2.12

A number a decreased by 7 is 2.
umka21 [38]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first convert this to numbers. When a number is decreased by a certain amount, that is the same as saying that something is subtracted from it. Therefore:

a-7=2

Add 7 to both sides:

a-7+7=2+7

a=9

Hope this helps!

A linear function is graphed below.
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

-1\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two coordinate points and are asked to find a slope.

When finding slope, we can use the formula listed :

\frac{y^2-y^1}{x^2-x^1}}

To understand what the variables are, you can take this :

(x^1,y^1)

(x^2,y^2)

Substitute the points :

(-1,4)

(5,-5)

Now substitute it into the formula :

\frac{-5-4}{5-(-1)}

\frac{-3}{2}

-1\frac{1}{2}
