You should purchase 1/2 pound of cashews and 1/2 pound of peanuts

Leona [9.2K]9 days ago

Answer:

5 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the pounds of cashews combined with 5 pounds of peanuts,

Thus, the total weight of the mixture (in pounds) equals x + 5,

∵ the overall cost of x pounds of cashew nuts plus the cost of 5 pounds of peanuts must equal the combined cost of the mixture,

Moreover, the cost of x pounds of cashews is $14 for each pound, while the cost for 5 pounds of peanuts is $6.50, and the overall combined cost for the mixed nuts is $10.25,

⇒  14x + 5(6.5) = 10.25(x+5)

⇒ 14x + 32.5 = 10.25x + 51.25

⇒ 14x + 32.5 - 10.25x = 51.25

⇒ 3.75x = 51.25 - 32.5

⇒ 3.75x = 18.75

⇒ x = 5

Consequently, 5 pounds of cashews would be necessary for the mix.

Which statements are true regarding undefinable terms in geometry? Select TWO options
PIT_PIT [9132]

Answer:

3) A line has one dimension, length. (True)

5) A plane is made up of an infinite collection of lines. (True)

Explanation:

Geometry has three undefined terms:

a) point

b) line

c) plane

Examining the given statements:

1) A point described as (x, y) has two dimensions — this is incorrect because a point has no dimensions.

2) A plane has clear start and end points — this is false as a plane extends infinitely without boundaries.

3) A line has exactly one dimension, which is its length. (True)

4) A point consists of countless lines — this is false; actually, a line consists of infinite points.

5) A plane consists of an unending set of lines. (True)

David wants to rent a bicycle for a couple of hours to explore the city. The price of the bike rental, (P)(P)left parenthesis, P
babunello [8426]

Answer:

The charge for the first three hours is $4 per hour.

Subsequently, the rate decreases to $2 per hour until the sixth hour.

Between the sixth and tenth hours, the cost is reduced further to $1 per hour.

The maximum charge for renting the bike is $30.

Step-by-step explanation:

The incline on the graph indicates the hourly rate for the bike rental.

During the initial three hours, the rental fee rises by $4 for each hour.

From the third to the sixth hour, the graph’s slope indicates a rate of $2 per hour for the rental.

The charge drops to $1 per hour from the sixth to the tenth hour.

After the tenth hour, the price, P, remains constant. The highest fee for the bike rental is $30.
