A store is having a sale on jelly beans and trail mix. For 7 pounds of jelly beans and 9 pounds of trail mix is a total of $42. For 5 pounds of jelly beans and 3 pounds of trail mix is a total of $24. Find the cost for each pound of jelly beans and each pound of trail mix?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

One pound of jelly beans costs $3.75.

One pound of trail mix costs $1.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]x[/tex] be equal to one pound of jelly beans.

Let [tex]y[/tex] be equal to one pound of trail mix.

1) Form equations

We're given:

7 pounds of jelly beans + 9 pounds of trail mix = $42

⇒ [tex]7x+9y=42[/tex]

5 pounds of jelly beans + 3 pounds of trail mix = $24

⇒ [tex]5x+3y=24[/tex]

Now, we have our two equations:

[tex]\displaystyle\left \{ {{7x+9y=42} \atop {5x+3y=24}} \right.[/tex]

2) Solve for x using elimination

[tex]\displaystyle\left \{ {{7x+9y=42} \atop {5x+3y=24}} \right.[/tex]

Multiply the second equation by 3 to change 3y to 9y:

[tex]5x+3y=24\\3(5x+3y)=3(24)\\15x+9y=72[/tex]

Subtract the first equation from the second to eliminate y:

[tex]15x+9y=72\\- 7x+9y=42\\\rule{2.5cm}{0.4pt}\\8x=30[/tex]

Divide both sides by 8 to isolate x:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{30}{8} \\\\x=3.75[/tex]

Therefore, one pound of jelly beans costs $3.75.

2) Solve for y using substitution

[tex]\displaystyle\left \{ {{7x+9y=42} \atop {5x+3y=24}} \right.[/tex]

Now, we know that x=3.75. Plug this value into one of the equations and solve for y:

[tex]5x+3y=24\\5(3.75)+3y=24\\18.75+3y=24\\3y=24-18.75\\3y=5.25\\\\\displaystyley=\frac{5.25}{3} \\\\y=1.75[/tex]

Therefore, one pound of trail mix costs $1.75.

I hope this helps!

b. ¿Qué fracción representa el total de sillas ocupadas durante los tres días?
vean la imagen estoy en examen pliss ayudAAAAAAAAAAA

Answers

No se losientoooooo también estoy en examennn

The fraction that represents the total number of seats occupied during the three days is 1.

The total number of seats in the auditorium is 200.

On day 1, 40% of the seats were occupied. So, 40/100 * 200 = 80 seats were occupied on day 1.

On day 2, 35% of the seats were occupied. So, 35/100 * 200 = 70 seats were occupied on day 2.

On day 3, 25% of the seats were occupied. So, 25/100 * 200 = 50 seats were occupied on day 3.

The total number of seats occupied during the three days is 80 + 70 + 50 = 200 seats.

The fraction that represents the total number of seats occupied during the three days is 200/200 = 1.

Here is the solution in mathematical form:

Let x be the fraction that represents the total number of seats occupied during the three days.

Then, x * 200 = 80 + 70 + 50

x = (80 + 70 + 50) / 200

x = 1

Therefore, the answer is 1.

Answers

Hello :D

£1.45 + £2.85 = £4.30

£4.30 + £1.95 = £6.25

£6.25 to the nearest pound = £6.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information

Insertion fee = £1.45

Enhanced advert = £2.85

Selling fee = £1.95

Given expression deducted from the given information

Total = insertion + enhanced advert + selling

Substitute values into the expression

Total = (1.45) + (2.85) + (1.95)

Find all values of c such that 3^2c+1=28*3^c-9. If you find more than one value of c, then list your values in increasing order​

Answers

[tex]3^{2c} + 1 = 28\times3^c - 9 \implies 3^{2c} - 28\times3^c = -10[/tex]

Complete the square on the left side:

[tex]3^{2c} - 28\times3^c = \left(3^{2c}-28\times3^c+14^2\right)-14^2 = \left(3^c-14\right)^2 - 196[/tex]

Then the equation becomes

[tex]\left(3^c-14\right)^2 - 196 = -10 \\\\ \left(3^c-14\right)^2 = 186 \\\\ 3^c - 14 = \pm\sqrt{186} \\\\ 3^c = 14\pm\sqrt{186}[/tex]

Both 14 + √186 and 14 - √186 are positive numbers, so we can take the logarithm (base 3) of both sides without issue:

[tex]\log_3\left(3^c) = c = \log_3\left(14\pm\sqrt{186}\right)[/tex]

Then in increasing order, the solutions are

c = log₃(14 - √186), c = log₃(14 + √186)

Sin theta = 3/4, what are the values of cos theta and tan theta?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle \cos(\theta) = \frac{\sqrt{7}}{4}[/tex].

[tex]\displaystyle \tan(\theta) = \frac{3\sqrt{7}}{7}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Pythagorean identity, for any given angle [tex]\theta[/tex], [tex]\sin^{2}(\theta) + \cos^{2}(\theta) = 1[/tex].

Given that [tex]\displaystyle \sin(\theta) = 3/4[/tex], solve this equation for [tex]\cos(\theta)[/tex].

[tex](\sin(\theta))^{2} + (\cos(\theta))^{2} = 1[/tex].

[tex]\displaystyle \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{2} + (\cos(\theta))^{2} = 1[/tex].

[tex]\begin{aligned} \cos(\theta) &= \sqrt{1 - \frac{9}{16}} \\ &= \sqrt{\frac{7}{16}} \\ &= \frac{\sqrt{7}}{4} \end{aligned}[/tex].

The tangent of an angle is equal to the ratio between the sine and cosine of that angle. In this question:

[tex]\begin{aligned} \tan(\theta) &= \frac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)} \\ &= \frac{3/4}{\sqrt{7}/4} \\ &= \frac{3}{\sqrt{7}} \\ &= \frac{3\sqrt{7}}{7}\end{aligned}[/tex].

Which of the following collections of subsets of the plane, R2
, are partitions?
(a) {{(x; y) | x + y = c}| c  R}
(b) The set of all circles in R2
(c) The set of all circles in R2
centered at the origin together with the set {(0; 0)}
(d) {{(x; y)} | (x; y)  R

Answers

Answer: Choice A

[tex]\{(x,y) | \ \ x+y = c, \ c \in \mathbb{R}\}[/tex]

Explanation:

The notation for choice A basically says "we have a line of the form x+y = c where c is a real number". Then points on the line in the form (x,y) will form a particular partition. A partition is where we break a set up into non-overlapping subsets and there are no gaps. Think of it like breaking up a house into multiple rooms. Each room is a subset of the house. There are no gaps or overlaps (ignore the regions in the walls).

Take note that if a point is on a line like x+y = 5, then it cannot be on any other line of the form x+y = c, where c is not equal to 5. Something like (x,y) = (2,3) is on x+y = 5 and not on any other line. If c is allowed to be any real number, then x+y = c will be able to partition the real numbers.

Put another way, we can pick any real number we want (aka the number c) and break it down into a sum of x and y values. Such a sum cannot yield any other c value. So going back to the house/room analogy, any particular (x,y) ordered pair will belong to one and only one room.

Let's look at an example of a non-answer. Choice B is not correct because it is perfectly possible to have circles intersect. Intersecting circles share at least one common point. Those common points are what break the idea of partitions. This idea also means choice C is false as well.

Choice D can be ruled out because the notation should be (x,y) in R2 and not simply R.

The collections of subsets of the plane, R2 is (a) {{x,y) : x + y = c} : c ∈ R}

What is a subset ?

If X is a subset of Y then all the elements of A also contained in B.

According to the given statement we have o determine which of the following collections of subsets of the plane R2.

R2 defines a two dimension plane.

x+y = c where c is a real number.

Then points on the line in the form (x,y) will form a particular partition. A partition is where we break a set up into non-overlapping subsets and there are no gaps. Think of it like breaking up a house into multiple rooms. Each room is a subset of the house.

Take note that if a point is on a line like x+y = 7, then it cannot be on any other line of the form x+y = c, where c is not equal to 7. Something like (x,y) = (3,4) is on x+y = 7 and not on any other line.

B. Is not correct because it is perfectly possible to have circles intersect. Intersecting circles share at least one common point. Those common points are what break the idea of partitions.

C. is false as well

D. Is ruled out because the notation should be (x,y) in R2 and not simply R.
