I've been doing this forever and I can't seem to get it right can anyone help?

the car was traveling 40 mph before it started skidding. ( 2 points ) 17. was the driver were her brakes working at 75% efficiency or better? ( 2 points ) yes 29.

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)

step-by-step explanation:

third choice down

step-by-step explanation:

the first inequality is based on the number of adults and campers, and the second inequality is based on the cost of feeding both the adult and the camper.

we know that there is room for 525 people max.   it's ok to have less than 525, but it's not ok to have more than 525, so the inequality is less than or equal to.   the number combination of adults (x) and campers (y) cannot exceed this 525 max.   therefore:

x + y ≤ 525

now we talk about cost.   it costs $9 to feed one adult, so depending upon the number of adults you have (x) depends upon how much it will cost to feed that number of adults.   same with the campers, who cost $5 to feed.   the adults can be represented by 9x and the campers can be represented by 5y.   since the budget cannot exceed 1,200, the second inequality is:

9x + 5y ≤ 1200
