Let x = pounds of chocolate we need to find.

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

Solve for x to find your answer.

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

If a person weighs 240 pounds on Earth, what would be the difference in weight of the same person on Mars and on the Moon
vlada-n [284]
Because weight = mass x surface gravity, multiplying your weight on Earth by the numbers above will give you your weight on the surface of each planet. If you weigh 150 pounds (68 kg.) on Earth, you would weigh 351 lbs. (159 kg.) on Jupiter, 57 lbs. (26 kg.) on Mars and a mere 9 lbs. (4 kg.)

Giselle pays $190 in advance on her account at the athletic club. Each time she uses the club, $10 is deducted from the account.
Archy [21]
Y= -10x + 190

In using a linear function, follow the pattern y=mx + b.
In this scenario, the m (which represents slope) is -10 since $10 is taken away every time. The b(which represents y-int) is 190 because you start with 190 (x=0)
