Hi
How many pounds of each kind must he use to make 70 pounds that can be sold for 1.50 per pound?
has highlight%2870-x%29tea worth $1.20 a pound and highlight%28x%29tea worth $1.90 a pound.
Mixing algebraically
1.90x + 1.20(70-x) = 1.50 • 70
.70x = .30• 70
x = 30lb of the $1.90 and 40lb of the $1.20
and
30%2A1.90+%2B+40%2A1.20+=+1.50%2A70+=+105

CENTS makes sense

15x = 180
x = 12, the number of Quarters. 18 Dimes

Hi
using standard form: y = ax^2 + bx + c
y= -x^2+2 || a = -1 , b = 0 and c = 2
x -intercepts (when y = 0)
-x^2 + 2 = 0
x^2 = 2

Andrew factored the expression -30x^3-9x^2-3x as -5x(6x^2-2x-1). But when Melissa applied the distributive law and multiplied out-5x(6x^2-2x-1), she got -30x^3+10x^2+5x; tus, Andrew’s solution does not appear to check. Why is that? Please help Andrew to understand this better. Explain your reasoning and correctly factor the original express, if possible. If the expression is prime, so state this.
