A candy maker has 60 pounds of candy that sells for $1.50/lb which is consisted of jellybeans and gumdrops. If Jellybeans sell for $1.20/lb and gumdrops sell for $2.00/lb, how many pounds of gumdrops are there in the mixture?

x=22.5 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to do the bucket method

x=Gumdrops

$1.20+$2.00=$1.50

60-x  +x  = 60 lb

(60-x)*1.2+ 2*x=1.5*60

Solve for X

72-1.2x+2x=90

-72              -72

0-1.2x+2x=18

0.8x=18

x=22.5

x = ± 6i

step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = -36

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(-36)

we know sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a) sqrt(b)

x = ±sqrt(36) sqrt(-1)

we know that sqrt (-1) = i

x = ± 6i

it is contrapositive

i could not see the question too well so check yourself again too . this is because i want you to get it correct.
