Mr. Torres spent $40.00 to buy 18 pounds of ground beef and chicken for a family to cook out. If the price of ground beef was $4.00 per pound and the chicken was $2.00 per pound, how many pounds of each did he buy?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

They bought 2 pounds of ground beef and 16 pounds of ground chicken.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b be the beef, and c be the chicken:

b + c = 18, the pounds of beef and the pounds of chicken added equal 18 pounds

4b + 2c = 40, the beef costs 4 dollars per pound and the chicken costs 2 dollars per pound. They add up to 40 dollars total.

Use the equation b + c = 18 and subtract c from both sides to get b = 18 - c. We replace this equation with b in 4b + 2c = 40 to get 4(18 - c) + 2c = 40 because b is 18 - c.

Now we solve for c:

4(18 - c) + 2c = 40

Simplify:

72 - 4c + 2c = 40

Combine Like Terms:

72 - 2c = 40

subtract 72 from both sides:

-2c = -32

Divide Both Sides by 2:

-c = -16

Make the Equation Positive:

c = 16

Okay cool, now we know that they bought 16 pounds of chicken, to find out how much beef the bought, replace c by 16 in b + c = 18 to get b + 16 = 18

b + 16 = 18

Subtract 16 from both sides:

b = 2, they bought 2 pounds of beef

To check, replace c with 16 and b with 2 in 4b + 2c = 40 to get

4(2) + 2(16) = 40

Multiply:

8 + 32 = 40

40 = 40

The equation is true

Answer 2
2 pounds of ground beef
16 pounds of chicken

2. x≥50

4. x≤75

Answer:

1. <

2. ≥

3. ≤

4. ≤

Step-by-step explanation:

since the first one says “less than” the opening of the sign is pointed towards the 14

for the second it says “at least” so it has to be 50 dollars or more

for the third it is “at most” 8. that means that the highest number is 8 so there can’t be a number greater than that. but they can be less

for the fourth it’s “no more” than 75 degrees so that means it has to be 75 degrees or less. It can’t be more

match each function with its rate of growth or decay

Answers

Answer:

y=5(1.05)^t=5% rate of growth

f(t)=50(0.95)^t=5% rate of decay

g(t)=50(1.5)^t=50% rate of growth

y=5(.5)^5=50% rate of decay

Step-by-step explanation:

y=5(1.05)^t= 1+x=1.05. x=0.05. 0.05= 5%, 5% rate of growth,

f(t)=50(0.95)^t=1-x=0.95, x=-0.05=-5%=5% rate of decay

g(t)=50(1.5)^t=1+x=1.5, x=0.5=50%, 50% rate of growth

y=5(.5)^5=1+x=0.5, x=-0.5=50%, 50% rate of decay

If this helps please mark as brainliest

The correct matching of the functions y = 5 · (1.05)ⁿ, y = 50 · (0.95)ⁿ, y = 50 · (1.5)ⁿ, and y = 5 · (0.05)ⁿ will be growth rate is 5%, the decay rate is 5%, the growth rate is 50%, and the decay rate is 50%, respectively.

What is an exponent?

Consider the function:

y = a (1 ± r)ˣ

Where x is the number of times this growth/decay occurs, a = initial amount, and r = fraction by which this growth/decay occurs.

If there is a plus sign, then there is exponential growth happening by r fraction or 100r %

If there is a minus sign, then there is exponential decay happening by r fraction or 100r %

The functions are given as,

y = 5 · (1.05)ⁿ

y = 5 · (1 + 0.05)ⁿ

The growth rate is 5%.

y = 50 · (0.95)ⁿ

y = 50 · (1 - 0.05)ⁿ

The decay rate is 5%.

y = 50 · (1.5)ⁿ

y = 50 · (1 + 0.5)ⁿ

The growth rate is 50%.

y = 5 · (0.05)ⁿ

y = 5 · (1 - 0.5)ⁿ

The decay rate is 50%.

The correct matching of the functions y = 5 · (1.05)ⁿ, y = 50 · (0.95)ⁿ, y = 50 · (1.5)ⁿ, and y = 5 · (0.05)ⁿ will be growth rate is 5%, the decay rate is 5%, the growth rate is 50%, and the decay rate is 50%, respectively.

What is coordinate geometry?

A coordinate plane is a 2D plane that is formed by the intersection of two perpendicular lines known as the x-axis and y-axis. A coordinate system in geometry is a method for determining the positions of the points by using one or more numbers or coordinates.

The two equations are Ax+6y = 12 and 2x−3y = 4. The value of A will be calculated as,

2x−3y = 4

y = 2/3x - 4/3

Ax+6y = 12

y = -A/6x +2

The slope of one graph will be inverse and the opposite to the other graph for the line to be perpendicular,

-3 / 2 = -A / 6

A = 9

[tex]Income = 10[/tex]

[tex]Expense = 12[/tex]

The difference between both is:

[tex]Income - Expense = 10 - 12[/tex]

[tex]Income - Expense = -2[/tex]

But if she uses absolute difference, the result will be:
