A food store makes a 10-pound mixture of peanuts, cashews, and raisins. The mixture has twice as many peanuts as cashews. Peanuts cost $1 per pound, cashews cost $2 per pound, and raisins cost $2 per pound. The total cost of the mixture is $16. How much of each ingredient did the store use to make the mixture?


I know the equations are likely

X = Peanuts

Y = Cashews

Z = Raisins


X + 2Y + 2Z = 16

2Y = X

X + Y + Z = 10

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of pounds peanuts = x = 4 pounds

The number of pounds cashews = y = 2 pounds

The number of pounds raisins be equal to z = 4 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The number pounds of the mixture = 10

Let the number of pounds peanuts = x

Let the number of pounds cashews = y

Let the number of pounds raisins be equal to z

Hence,

x + y + z = 10

The mixture has twice as many peanuts as cashews.

2y= x

= 2y + y + z = 10

= 3y + z = 10

z = 10 - 3y

Peanuts cost $1 per pound, cashews cost $2 per pound, and raisins cost $2 per pound. The total cost of the mixture is $16.

x × $1 + y × $2 × z × $2 = $16

x + 2y + 2z = 16......Equation 2

We Substitute.(2y = x), (z = 10 - 3y)

2y + 2y + 2(10 - 3y) = 16

4y + 20 - 6y = 16

20 - 16 = 6y - 4y

4 = 2y

y = 4/2

y = 2 pounds

z = 10 - 3y

z = 10 - 3(2)

z = 10 - 6

z = 4 pounds

2y= x

2(2) = x

x = 4 pounds

How much of each ingredient did the store use to make the mixture?

The number of pounds peanuts = x = 4 pounds

The number of pounds cashews = y = 2 pounds

The number of pounds raisins be equal to z = 4 pounds

This equation shows how the total number of souvenirs Mark buys is related to the number of days he spends on vacation. s = d The variable d represents the number of days he spends on vacation, and the variable s represents the total number of souvenirs he buys. How many days will Mark have to spend on vacation before he will have bought a total of 12 souvenirs?

Answers

Answer:

12 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

s = d

Where,

d = number of days he spends on vacation

s = total number of souvenirs he buys

How many days will Mark have to spend on vacation before he will have bought a total of 12 souvenirs?

s = 12

Since,

s = d

Then,

12 = d

Therefore, Mark will have to spend a total of 12 days on vacation before he will have bought a total of 12 souvenirs

You practice playing your guitar every day. You spend 15 minutes practicing chords and the rest of the time practicing a new song. So the total number of minutes y you practice for the week is given by y=7(15+x), where x is the number of minutes you spend on practicing a new song. Solve the equation for x.

Answers

Answer:

x=(y-105)/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the total time taken to practice is given by the expression as

y=7(15+x)

Simplifying the expression we have

y=105+7x

Solving for x (that is making x subject of formula we have)

7x=y-105

Divide both sides by 7 we have

x=(y-105)/7

Therefore the expression is

x=(y-105)/7

1. Write the equation of a line parallel to y = -2x + 10 that passes through point (2, 4). ​

Answers

Answer:

y - 4= -2(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

(This answer is in point slope form, if you need the answer in a different form like slope intercept, you would have to distribute the negative 2 and bring the negative 4 to the right side.)

So, you know the line is parallel to the equation y= -2x + 10. We know that parallel lines must have the same slope, so the answer will have a slope of negative 2. Because they have given you a point that the line passes through, we are going to put the answer in point slope form. we know a point and we know the slope, hence it is called point-slope.

Point slope form is y - y₁ = m(x - x₁). The m stands for the slope, and the x₁ and y₁ is where you will plug in the x and y coordinates (2,4) .

So to plug in the numbers into point slope form it would be y - 4 = -2 (x - 2). hope this helped :)
