Answer 4

don't you hate word problems? especially mixture ones ick!!

Answer 5

@misty1212 I hate them..

Answer 6

same really as the other problem
\[530x+415(135-x)=63155\] solve for \(x\)

Answer 7

lol another county heard from ..

Answer 8

notice i got rid of the dumb decimal point right away
btw x here represents the more expensive coffee
it is easier to do it that way

Answer 9

62

Answer 10

but it says its incorrect

Answer 11

that is because x was the more expensive coffee silly, not the cheap one

Answer 12

ok.

Answer 13

62 pounds of the expensive one, \(135-62\) of the cheap one

Answer 14

sorry i thought they wanted both
if they only wanted the cheap one i should have put x = amount of cheap coffee

Answer 15

i have one more similar

Answer 16

see i was right
