Answer:

The pecans used in the mixture =  8 kg

The almonds used in the mixture  =  17 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of per kg of pecans  = $28.50

The cost of per kg of almonds = $22.25

Now, total weight of mixture  = 25 kg

Let us assume the weight of pecans in the mixture   =   m kg

So, the amount of almonds in the mixture  = Total weight - Weight of Pecans

= (25 - m) kg

Now, cost of m kg pecans  = m x ( cost of 1 kg pecans) = m x ( $ 28.50)

                                              =  28.50 m

cost of (25- m) kg almonds  = (25 -m)  x ( cost of 1 kg almonds)

                                                = (25 - m) x ( $ 22.25)

                                                =  556.25  - 22.25 m

Total cost  of 25 kg of mixture  = 25 x ( $24.25) =  $606.25

Now, Total Cost of (almonds  + Pecans)  = Total cost of mixture

⇒28.50 m + 556.25  - 22.25 m  = $606.25

or,6.25 m =  50

or, m = 50/6.25 =  8

Hence, the pecans used in the mixture = m = 8 kg

And the  almonds used in the mixture  = (25 - m) = 25 - 8 = 17 kg

Find the values of x1 and x2 where the following two constraints intersect.
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer: x1 = 251/26, x2 = -111/26

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

As you can see in the figure, the point you are looking for is the intersection of two lines.

The intersection point is found solving this system of linear equations (the point must satisfy both equations):

9x_1 +7x_2=57\\4x_1 + 6x_2 = 13

You can solve it, for example, by the method of substitution:

\text{solve for x1 in the first equation:}\\x_1 = \frac{1}{9}(57 - 7x_2)

Then plug x1 into equation 2, and solve for x2:

\frac{4}{9}(57-7x_2) + 6x_2 = 13\\\text{doing the algebra you get:}\\x_2 = \frac{-111}{26}

Then you use the value of x2 to get x1:

x_1 = \frac{1}{9}(57 - 7x_2)= \frac{1}{9}(57 + 7*\frac{111}{26}) = 251/26\\

Annette [7]
<h2>Explanation:</h2>

A cube is a prism whose sides all have the same length. You can think of a cube like the three dimensional version of a square. In this problem, we know that Mary is using a microscope in order to look at a salt crystal and discovers it is shaped like a cube. Each square face has side length:

s=0.1mm

This diagram is shown in the first figure below. A crystal's square face is one of the six faces of the cube. So in order to draw it we need to know how many units we'll have in each side. Since we know that 1 unit on the grid represents 0.01mm, then:

No. \ units=\frac{0.1mm}{0,01mm}=10

So we will have 10 units that measure 0.01mm in each side. This is shown in the second figure below.
