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

Which best describes the relationship between the two triangles below?
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

They are SIMILAR triangles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given triangles MNL and FHG with two of their angles to be 51° and 36° respectively. Their third angle is expressed as:

180°-(51°+36°)

= 180°-87°

= 93°

Their third angle is 93°

Since both triangles have the same angles in them, both triangles are considered as similar triangle even though the value of their sides are different due to angle differences in both.

Note that individual triangles are scalene triangles since their angles are not the same but the both triangles are similar triangles based on their relationship.

A computer programming team has 13 members. a. How many ways can a group of seven be chosen to work on a project? b. Suppose sev
Julli [10]

Answer:

1716 ;

700 ;

1715 ;

658 ;

1254 ;

792

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Number of members (n) = 13

a. How many ways can a group of seven be chosen to work on a project?

13C7:

Recall :

nCr = n! ÷ (n-r)! r!

13C7 = 13! ÷ (13 - 7)!7!

= 13! ÷ 6! 7!

(13*12*11*10*9*8*7!) ÷ 7! (6*5*4*3*2*1)

1235520 / 720

= 1716

b. Suppose seven team members are women and six are men.

Men = 6 ; women = 7

(i) How many groups of seven can be chosen that contain four women and three men?

(7C4) * (6C3)

Using calculator :

7C4 = 35

6C3 = 20

(35 * 20) = 700

(ii) How many groups of seven can be chosen that contain at least one man?

13C7 - 7C7

7C7 = only women

13C7 = 1716

7C7 = 1

1716 - 1 = 1715

(iii) How many groups of seven can be chosen that contain at most three women?

(6C4 * 7C3) + (6C5 * 7C2) + (6C6 * 7C1)

Using calculator :

(15 * 35) + (6 * 21) + (1 * 7)

525 + 126 + 7

= 658

c. Suppose two team members refuse to work together on projects. How many groups of seven can be chosen to work on a project?

(First in second out) + (second in first out) + (both out)

13 - 2 = 11

11C6 + 11C6 + 11C7

Using calculator :

462 + 462 + 330

= 1254

d. Suppose two team members insist on either working together or not at all on projects. How many groups of seven can be chosen to work on a project?

Number of ways with both in the group = 11C5

Number of ways with both out of the group = 11C7

11C5 + 11C7

462 + 330

= 792

Given the following functions f(x) and g(x), solve (f + g)(5) and select the correct answer below: f(x)=2x^2-10 g(x)=x+9
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

\large\boxed{(f+g)(5)=54}

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=2x^2-10,\ g(x)=x+9\\\\(f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)\\\\\text{Substitute:}\\\\(f+g)(x)=(2x^2-10)+(x+9)=2x^2-10+x+9=2x^2+x+(-10+9)\\\\(f+g)(x)=2x^2+x-1\\\\(f+g)(x)(5)\to\text{put x = 5 to the equation of the function:}\\\\(f+g)(5)=2(5^2)+5-1=2(25)+5-1=50+5-1=54

Write using exponential notation?<br> 5.5.2.2.2.2
inna [77]

Answer:

5 ^{2}  \times 2^{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying 5 by itself is the same thing as raising it to the second power:

5 \times 5 = {5}^{2}  = 25

We multiply 2 by itself two seperate times. That's the same thing as raising 2 to the second power to the second power or in simpler terms raising two to the fourth power:

2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 = {({2}^{2})}^{2}  =  {2}^{4}  = 16

Since only multiplication is present, we can combine the two terms to get:

5^{2}  \times  {2}^{4}
