Answer: B. the variable y represents the pounds of roasted coffee in the 46$ purchase.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The rate of espresso = $8.50 per pound

The rate of coffee = $10.25 per pound

The equation represents a online purchase.

x+y=5 ............(1)

and 8.5x+10.25y=46.................(2)

from equation (2), 8.5 is the coefficient of x, thus variable x represents the pounds of espresso and 10.25 is the coefficient of y, thus variable y represents the pounds of roasted coffee in the total purchase of $46.

And equation (1) represents the total pounds of espresso and roasted coffee.

Hence only option B is correct.

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

On the first hour she gathered 8 mushroons, on the second 15 mushroons and on the third she gathered 14 mushroons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Helen gathred a total of 37 mushroons in three hours. On the first hour she gathered "x" mushroons, on the second hour she gathered "x + 7" mushroons and on the third hour she gathered "x + 6". Therefore the sum of mushrrons she gathered on each hour should be equal to the total she gathered as shown below:

37 = x + (x+ 7) + (x + 6)

37 = 3*x + 13

3*x + 13 = 37

3*x = 37 - 13

3*x = 24

x = 24 / 3

x = 8

On the first hour she gathered 8 mushroons, on the second 15 mushroons and on the third she gathered 14 mushroons.
