Answer:

  • Walnuts  cost $1.75, chocolate chips cost $2.75

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Let the costs be:</h3>

  • Walnuts - x
  • Chocolate chips - y

<h3>Set equations as per question</h3>

For 7 pounds of walnuts and 9 pounds of chocolate chips, the total cost is $37:

  • 7x + 9y = 37

For 5 pounds of walnuts and 3 pounds of chocolate chips, the total cost is $17:

  • 5x + 3y = 17

<h3>Solve the system by elimination</h3>

Multiply the second equation by 3 and subtract the first equation, solve for x:

  • 3(5x + 3y) - (7x + 9y) = 3(17) - 37
  • 15x + 9y - 7x - 9y = 51 - 37
  • 8x = 14
  • x = 14/8
  • x = 1.75

Find the value of y:

  • 7*1.75 + 9y = 37
  • 12.25 + 9y = 37
  • 9y = 37 - 12.25
  • 9y = 24.75
  • y = 24.75/9
  • y = 2.75

A rectangle had a length of 2x-7 and a with of 3x+8y. Write and simplify an expression for the perimeter of that rectangle?
wel

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle had a length of 2x-7 and a width of 3x+8y

Perimeter P = 2(l + w)

P = 2(2x - 7 + 3x + 8y)

P = 2(5x + 8y - 7)

P= 10x + 16y - 14

Hello pls help meeee

The function is (-x+3)/ (3x-2) and we get f(1)=1 and differentiation is f'(x)=-7/ (9x²- 12x+4).

Given that,

The function is (-x+3)/ (3x-2)

We have to find f(1) and f'(x).

Take the function expression

f(x)= (-x+3)/ (3x-2)

Taking x as 1 value

f(1)= (-1+3)/(3(1)-2)

f(1)=2/1

f(1)=1

Now, to get f'(x)

With regard to x, we must differentiate.

f(x) is in u/v

We know

u/v=(vu'-uv')/ v²        (formula)

f'(x)= ((3x-2)(-1)- (-x+3)(3))/ (3x-2)²

f'(x)= ((-3x+2)-(-3x+9))/ 9x²- 12x+4

f'(x)=(-3x+2+3x-9)/ 9x²- 12x+4

f'(x)=2-9/ (9x²- 12x+4)

f'(x)=-7/ (9x²- 12x+4)

Therefore, The function is (-x+3)/ (3x-2) and we get f(1)=1 and differentiation is f'(x)=-7/ (9x²- 12x+4).
