Please help me I'm failing and I'm so confused

y=9

x=26

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-17+3x-11=180

8x-28=180

8x=208

x=26

5(26)-17

130-17

113

2y+5+90=113

2y+95=113

2y=18

y=9

x=26

y=9

Step-by-step explanation:

(5x-17)+(3x-11)=180

8x-28=180

8x=208

x=26

(2y+5)+90[the right angle]+(3x-11)=180

2y+95+3(26)-11=180

2y+84+78=180

2y+162=180

2y=18

y=9

step-by-step explanation:

delaney would like to make a 5lb nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds.

she has several pounds of peanuts and several pounds of a mixture that is 20% peanuts and 80% almonds.

let 'p' represent the number of pounds of peanuts needed to make the new mixture, and  

let 'm' represent the number of pounds of the 80% almond-20% peanut mixture.

:

p + m = 5

therefore

m = (5-p)

write an equation based on the percent of peanuts

1p + .2m = .6(5)

replace m with (5-p)

p + .2(5-p) = .6(5)

p + 1 - .2p = 3

p - .2p = 3 - 1

.8p = 2

p = 2/.8

p = 2.5 lbs of peanuts required

then

5 - 2.5 = 2.5 lbs of the peanut/almond mixture required

:

a) what is the system that models this situation?

p + m = 5

1p + .2m = .6(5)
