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:

rectangles are made up of 4 right angles, which means that a side and a base meet perpendicular to one another.   their slopes then have to reflect perpendicular slopes.   perpendicular slopes are opposite reciprocals of one another.   for example, if the slope of one line is +2/3, then the perpendicular slope to that would be -3/2.   so we look for that combination in our choices.

all of them satisfy that condition (so what's the question, i guess? )

i know the point slope is y= 1/11x-46/11
