A coffee distributor needs to mix a(n) Mexican Shade Grown coffee blend that normally sells for $8.10 per pound with a Tanzanian coffee blend that normally sells for $14.10 per pound to create 100 pounds of a coffee that can sell for $10.26 per pound. How many pounds of each kind of coffee should they mix?

64 pounds of the $8.10 Mexican Shade Grown

36 pounds of the $14.10 Tanzanian

Step-by-step explanation:

8.1x + 14.1(100 - x) = 10.26(100)

Distribute

8.1x + 1410 - 14.1x = 1026

Combine like terms

1410 - 6x = 1026

Subtract 1410 from both sides

-6x = -384

Divide both sides by -6

x = 64 pounds of the $8.10

100 - x = 36 pounds of the $14.10

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
