Let X = pounds of Bermuda grass needed.
(20 pounds bahia grass x $6.30) + ( X x $3.65) = (20 +X) x $4.90
Simplify:
126 + 3.65X = 98 + 4.90X
Subtract 3.65X from each side:
126 = 98 + 1.25X
Subtract 98 from each side:
28 = 1.25X
Divide both sides by 1.25
X = 28 / 1.25
X = 22.4 pounds required.
The first given equation is:
4x + 3y = 6
which can be rewritten as:
2(2x) + 3y = 6 .............> equation I
The second given equation is:
2x + 2y = 5
which can be rewritten as:
2x = 5 - 2y ........> equation II
Substitute with equation II in equation I to get the value of y as follows:
2(5-2y) + 3y = 6
10 - 4y + 3y = 6
-y = 6-10 = -4
y = 4
Substitute with the y in equation II to get x as follows:
2x = 5 - 2y
2x = 5 - 2(4)
2x = 5 - 8 = -3
x = -3/2
From the above calculations:
x = -3/2
y = 4
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
If the bold numbers and variables are 2x + 5, then those would be B. addend, or the numbers that are added. Minuend is the number from which you subtract.
And since there is no dividing here, C or D are incorrect.
