Tara's website, verdantveggies.com, specializes in the sale of rare or unusual vegetable seeds. Tara sells packets of sweet-pepper seeds for $2.85 each and packets of hot-pepper seeds for $4.29 each. She also offers a 16-packet mixed-pepper assortment combining packets of both types of seeds at $3.30 per packet. How many packets of each type of seed are in the assortment?
Answer:
Let's define the variables:
S = # of sweet pepper seeds in the mix pack.
H = # of hot pepper seeds in the mix pack.
Let's suppose that $3.30 is the mean price of the seeds in the mix pack.
Then we have two equations:
S + H = 16.
(S*$2.85 + H*$4.29)/16 = $3.30
Now let's solve this system.
The first step is isolating one variable in one of the equations, i will isolate S in the first equation.
S = 16 - H.
Now we can replace this in the second equation, and solve it for H.
( (16 - H)*$2.85 + H*$4.29)/16 = $3.30
( (16 - H)*$2.85 + H*$4.29) = $3.30*16 = $52.80
$45.60 + H*$1.44 = $52.80
H*$1.44 = $52.80 - $45.60 = $7.20
H = $7.20/$1.44 = 5
Then in the mix pack there are 5 hot-pepper seeds.
And the other 11 must be sweet-pepper seeds
Algebraic equations are equations that contain unknown variables.
The number of packets of sweet-pepper seeds is 11 and the number of packets of hot-pepper seeds is 5.
Let's represent:is
The number of packets of sweet-pepper seeds = s
The number of packets of hot-pepper seeds = h
Based on this question, our system of equations are:
$2.85 x s + $4.29 x h = $3.30(16)
2.85s + 4.29h = 52.8...........Equation 1
s + h = 16...........Equation 2
s = 16 - h
We substitute 16 - h for s in Equation 1
2.85(16 - h) + 4.29h = 52.8
45.6 -2.85h + 4.29h = 52.8
Subtract 45.6 from both sides
45.6 - 45.6 -2.85h + 4.29h = 52.8 - 45.6
1.44h = 7.2
h = 5
There are 5 hot-pepper seeds in the assortment.
Solving for the number of sweet-pepper seeds.
s = 16 - h
s = 16 - 5
s = 11
There are 11 sweet-pepper seeds in the assortment.
Therefore, the number of packets of sweet-pepper seeds is 11 and the number of packets of hot-pepper seeds is 5.

The toco toucan, the largest member of the toucan family, possesses the largest beak relative to body size of all birds. This exaggerated feature has received various interpretations, such as being a refined adaptation for feeding. However, the large surface area may also be an important mechanism for radiating heat (and hence cooling the bird) as outdoor temperature increases. Here are data for beak heat loss, as a percent of total body heat loss, at various temperatures in degrees Celsius:
Temperature (degrees Celsius) 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30
Percent heat loss from beak 35 36 38 28 41 43 55 46 39 54 45 58 60 56 62 67

The center of an ice rink is located at (0, 0) on a coordinate system measured in meters. Susan is skating along a path that can be modeled by the equation y = 6x – x2 – 5. Luke starts at (10, –21) and skates along a path that can be modeled by a quadratic function with a vertex at (8, –9). If the rink is a circle with a radius of 35 meters, which statement best interprets the solution(s) of a system of equations modeling the paths of the skaters?
A. The skaters’ paths intersect once, but that point is outside the rink.
B. The skaters’ paths intersect once, and that point is inside the rink.
C. The skaters’ paths intersect twice, but only one of those points is inside the rink.
D. The skaters’ paths intersect twice, and both points are inside the rink.
Answer:
Option C:The skaters path intersect twice, but only one of those points is inside the rink.
Step-by-step explanation:
Coordinates of center of ice rink: (0,0) Radius of ice rink circle = 35 m
We know that the equation of a circle with center coordinates (a,b) and radius of (r) is given as; (x - a)² + (y - b)² = r²
Thus, the total area on which the skaters are skating will be given by the equation;
x² + y² = 35²
Now, we are told the path along which Susan is skating is modeled by the equation: y = 6x - x² - 5
While Luke starts at (10, –21) and skates along a path that can be modeled by a quadratic function with a vertex at (8, –9)
From equation of a parabola, the path along which like is skating can be modeled by;
(x - 8)² = 4a(y + 9)
To find a, we will substitute the coordinate started at to get;
(10 - 8)² = 4a(-21 + 9)
4 = 4a × -12
Divide both sides by 4 to get;
a = -1/12
Thus;
(x - 8)² = 4(-1/12)(y + 9)
(x - 8)² = (-1/3)(y + 9)
This gives: 3(x - 8)² = -(y + 9)
I've drawn the graph on demos and attached it.
From the graph we can see that the skaters points intersect twice but one is inside the rink circle while the other is outside the rink circle. The point at which they intersect outside the rink was slightly cropped out because of size. But it is clearly seen that they are both approaching point of intersection.
Thus, correct answer is Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:
bob is on his way home in his car. he has driven 30 miles so far, which is three-fifths of the way home. what is the total length of his drive?
The length of Bob's drive as a fraction = 5/5
Let the length of his total drive be = x
30 miles driven by Bob as a fraction =
= 3/5 of x = 30
= 3/5x = 30
= 5/x = 30 ÷ 3 ( transposing ×3 from LHS to RHS changes ×3 to ÷3 )
=5/x = 10
= x = 10 × 5 ( transposing ÷5 from LHS to RHS changes ÷5 to ×5 )
= x = 50
Now we have to see what is =
= 2/5 of 50
= 2/5 × 50
= 100/5
= 20 miles
So , total length of Bob's drive = 30 miles + 20 miles = 50 miles .
∴ The total length of Bob's drive is 50 miles .

A doctor gives a patient a 70% chance of surviving bypass surgery after a heart attack. If the patient
Isurvives the surgery, then the patient has a 40% chance that the heart damage will heal. Find the
probability that the patient survives the surgery and the heart damage heals. The probability is nothing
Answer:
The probability the person will survive the bypass surgery and that the heart damage will heal is about 28%
Step-by-step explanation:
(7/10)*(4/10)*100=28
To solve for probability of situations like this you have to multiply the fractional values of the two percentages and multiply by 100 to get the new percentage.
Using conditional probability, it is found that there is a 0.28 = 28% probability that the patient survives the surgery and the heart damage heals.
Conditional Probability:
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]
In which
P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened. [tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening. P(A) is the probability of A happening.In this problem:
Event A: Surviving.Event B: Healing.70% chance of surviving, thus [tex]P(A) = 0.7[/tex].If the patient survives, 40% chance of healing, thus [tex]P(B|A) = 0.4[/tex].The probability of both is [tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex], then:
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]
[tex]P(A \cap B) = P(B|A)P(A)[/tex]
[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.4(0.7)[/tex]
[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.28[/tex]
0.28 = 28% probability that the patient survives the surgery and the heart damage heals.
