The factors are 6 and x + 5
Given: 11-pound mixture of peanuts, almonds, and raisins
Cost:
peanuts - 1.5 per pound
almonds - 3 per pound
raisins - 1.5 per pound
mixture:
twice as many peanuts as almond; total cost of mixture is 21.
a + p + r = 11 lbs
a + 2a + r = 11 lbs
3a + r = 11
r = 11 - 3a
1.5(2a) + 3a + 1.5r = 21
3a + 3a + 1.5r = 21
6a + 1.5r = 21
6a + 1.5(11-3a) = 21
6a + 16.5 - 4.5a = 21
6a - 4.5a = 21 - 16.5
1.5a = 4.5
1.5a/1.5 = 4.5/1.5
a = 3
almonds = 3 lbs
peanuts = 2a = 2(3) = 6lbs
raisins = 11 - 3a = 11 - 3(3) = 11 - 9 = 2 lbs
<span>My answer is: C. 6 lbs peanuts, 3 lbs almonds, 2 lbs raisins </span>
Answer: The correct option is (c) 
Step-by-step explanation: We are given to solve the following quadratic equation by the method of completing the square:
Also, we are to find the constant added on both sides to form the perfect square trinomial.
We have from equation (i) that
So,
Thus, the required solution is 
and the value of the constant added is
Option (c) is correct.
1st Bagel; $0.79. 2nd Bagel; $0.67. 3rd Bagel; $0.70. 4th Bagel; $0.75. So B would be the correct answer, given 67¢ is cheaper ;)))))))
