Let
x = pounds of peanuts
y = pounds of cashews
z = pounds of Brazil nuts.
The total pounds is 50, therefore
x + y + z = 50 (1)
The total cost is $6.60 per pound for 50 pounds of mixture.
The total is equal to the sum of the costs of the different nuts.
Because the cost for peanuts, cashews, and Brazil nuts are $3, $10, and $9 respectively, therefore
3x + 10y + 9z = 50*6.8
3x + 10y + 9z = 340 (2)
There are 10 fewer pounds of cashews than peanuts, therefore
x = y + 10 (3)
Substitute (3) into (1) and (2).
y + 10 + y + z = 50
2y + z = 40 (4)
3(y + 10) + 10y + 9z = 340
13y + 9z = 310 (5)
From (4),
z = 40 - 2y (6)
Substitute (6) into (5).
13y + 9(40 - 2y) = 310
-5y = -50
y = 10
z = 40 - 2y = 40 - 20 = 20
x = y + 10 = 20
Answer:
Peanuts: 20 pounds
Cashews: 10 pounds
Brazil nuts: 20 pounds

We have the expression:
3x(x-12x) + 3x^2 - 2(x-2)^2
First, we will expand the power 2 bracket as follows:
3x(x-12x) + 3x^2 - 2(x^2 - 4x +4)
Then, we will get rid of the brackets as follows:
3x^2 - 36x^2 + 3x^2 - 2x^2 + 8x - 8
Now, we will gather the like terms and add them as follows:
-32 x^2 + 8x - 8
We can take the 8 as a common factor:
8 ( -4x^2 + x -1)
Answer=1/24
1/3+5/8=
to solve for this, we need the denominators of the fractions to match.
The LCM of 3 and 8 is 24
1/3=8/24
5/8=15/24
8/24+15/24=23/24
Now if we're using 23/24, then only 1/24 is left.
24/24-23/24=1/24
Tom:
Previous balance: 2,452.64
payment: 160
new transaction: 138
APR: 15.6%
We need to divide APR by 12 to get the monthly rate: 15.6% / 12 = 1.3%
2,452.64 - 160 = 2,292.64
2,292.64 * 1.3% = 29.80 interest for the month. We did not include 138 because it still is within the 1 month period and it is not subject to interest. Only the revolving amount of 2,292.64 has interest.
2,292.64 + 29.80 + 138 = 2,460.44 NEW BALANCE OF TOM
Marco:
Unpaid credit card balance: 4,332.75
APR: 18.6%
New transaction: 432
Divide APR by 12 to get the monthly rate: 18.6% / 12 = 1.55%
4,332.75 * 1.55% = 67.16
4,332.75 + 67.16 + 432 = 4,831.91 NEW BALANCE OF MARCO
