Answer:

He needs 16 ounces of raisins and 8 ounces of nuts

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of ounces of raisins

y -----> the number of ounces of nuts

we know that

x+y=24 -----> equation A

x=2y -----> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

(2y)+y=24

3y=24

y=8 ounces of nuts

Find the value of x

x=2(8)=16 ounces of raisins

therefore

He needs 16 ounces of raisins and 8 ounces of nuts

Answer:

8 ounces of nuts and 16 ounces of raisins.

Step-by-step explanation:

Enrique is making a party mix that contains raisins and nuts.

For each ounce of nuts, he uses twice the amount of raisins.

Let the amount of nuts = x

the amount of raisins = 2x

Total amount of party mix he need to make = 24 ounces

the equation will be

x + 2x = 24

3x = 24

x = $\frac{24}{3}$

x = 8 ounces

The amount of raisins = 2x = 2(8)

= 16 ounces

For 24 ounces of party mix Enrique need 8 ounce of nuts and 16 ounces of raisins.

Name and briefly describe the four categories of risk explained in the article.

emmainna [20.7K]

Based on the information provided in the article, the four (4) categories of risk explained include the following:

Market risk: this is a risk that limits the ability of an investment to increase in value, thereby, leading to loss of money in the long-run.
Financial or business risk: it describes the risk that is associated with investing an amount of money in a private business, so as to gain a lot of profit in the long run.
Inflation risk: it describes the risk that is associated with a lower rate of return due to a higher rate of inflation, when an amount of money is invested.
Fraud risk: it describes the risk that is associated with investing an amount of money in a product, stock, company, etc., without doing a background check or due diligence.

<h3>What is risk management?</h3>

Risk management can be defined as a strategic process which involves the identification, evaluation, analysis and control of potential threats (risks) that are present in a business, project, or system, as an obstacle to its capital, revenues, success, and profits.

Special precision bolts are made by another machine. These are for jobs that require more exact measurements. The bolts must be

zalisa [80]

The absolute value of a number $x$ is the positive version of that number. So, if $x$ is positive, its absolute value is $x$ itself. If $x$ is negative, its absolute value is $-x$ , so that it will be positive again.

So, if the absolute value of a number is smaller than a certain quantity, i.e. $|x|$ it means that the positive version of $x$ is less than $a$ .

So, if $x$ is positive, the inequality becomes $x$ . If $x$ is negative, the inequality becomes $-x-a$ .

So, as a compound inequality, we have

$|x|$

So, in your case, we have

$|x-8|$

Add 8 to all sides in this inequality:

$8-0.01 < x < 8+0.01 \iff 7.79 < x$

So, on a number line, you must higlight all numbers between 7.79 and 8.01, endpoints excluded.

Conceptually, this means that the bolt measurement should be exactly 8mm, but you can accept bolts that are 0.01 millimeters shorter of larger.
