You can put this solution on YOUR website!13x+11(336-x)=336*12
13x+3,696-11x=4,032
2x=4,032-3,696
2x=336
x=336/2
x=168 kilograms of $13 coffee.
336-168=168 kilograms of $11 coffee.
Proof:
13*168+11*168=336*12
2,184+1,848=4,032
4,032=4,032

You can put this solution on YOUR website!35x+52(x+.05)=20
35x+52x+2.60=20
87x=20-2.6o
87x=17.40
x=17.40/87
x=$.20 per minute for the local calls.
.20=.02=$.25 per minute for the long distance calls.
Proof:
35*.20+52*.25=20
7+13=20
20=20

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1 x + 3y + 1=0
3y=-x-1
y=-x/3-1/3 (red line). Slope=-1/3
(-1,-4) and perpendicular.
The perpendicular line will have a slope=3
Y=mX+b
-4=3*-1+b
-4=-3+b
b=-4+3
b=-1 the Y intercept.
Y=3X-1 answer. (green line)

Rectangles/346769: The length of a rectangle is 7 meters longer than its width. What is the width of this rectangle if its perimeter is equal to 150 meters? 1 solutions
Answer 247963 by checkley77(12569) on 2010-09-22 16:56:05 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!L=W+7
2L+2W=P
2(W+7)+2W=150
2W+14+2W=150
4W=150-14
4W=136
W=136/4
W=34 METERS IS THE LENGTH.
L=34+7=41 METERS IS THE LENGTH.
PROOF:
2*41+2*34=150
82+68=150
150=150
