Pecans cost $2.70 per kilogram. cashews
cost $2.50 per kilogram. the number of
kilograms of pecans is one more than the
number of kilograms of cashews. how many
kilograms of cashews are needed to make a
bag to sell at $28.70?

12kg

Step-by-step explanation:

$28.70 / $2.50 = 11.48kg —> 12kg

5 Kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

The number of kilograms of pecan is x

The number of kilograms of cashew is y

2.7x + 2.5y = 28.7 Equation 1

x = y - 1 Equation 2

Put the values of y  

2.7(y - 1) + 2.5y = 28.7

2.7y + 2.7 + 2.5y = 28.7

5.2y = 26

y = 5 kg

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
