Deluxe coffee is to be mixed with regular coffee to make at least 5151 pounds of a blended coffee. The mixture must contain at least 99 pounds of deluxe coffee. Deluxe coffee costs $55 per pound and regular coffee $33 per pound. How many pounds of each kind of coffee should be used to minimize costs?

9 pounds of deluxe

42 pounds of regular

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

Deluxe coffee mix with regular coffee = 51

mix contains deluxe coffee = 9 pounds

Deluxe coffee costs $5

regular coffee costr = $3

solution

we consider here

deluxe coffee = x lbs

regular coffee = y lbs

and

x+ y ≥ 52

and mixture contains at least 9 pounds of deluxe coffee

so  x ≥ 9

and

cost equation will be

cost C = 5x + 3 y

deluxe costs more than regular

and here we want to use as possible as to minimize the cost

so least amount

x + y = 51

x  = 9

y = 51 - 9

y = 42

i need a picture

step-by-step explanation:

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
