One way to compare is to find the price per gallon.
$24 for 4 gallons = 24÷4 = $6 per gallon
8 pack of 1 qt bottle give you 2 gallons (4qts= 1 gallon) So you get 2 gallons for $16
$16 ÷ 2 = $8.00 per gallon. Sweet and Sour has the higher unit price.
Even if we compare the price per quart we will get the same answer as to who is selling it at the higher unit price.
4gal for $24 = 16 quarts for $24 ( 1 gallon = 4 qts)
$24 ÷ 16 = $1.50 each (1

)
vs.
8 quarts for $16 $16 ÷ 8 = $2.00 per qt. Sweet and sour still has the higher unit price
Answer:
Equation 1,

Equation 2,

Take equation number 2.

Substitute 'x' in Equation number 1.

<u>y = 0.</u>
So x,

<u>x = 11.</u>
Answer:
Height of fir tree = 9 meters
height of pine tree= 12 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
The combined height of one fir tree and one pine tree is 21 meters. The height of 4 fir trees stacked on top of each other is 24 meters taller than one pine tree.
Let x be the height of fir tree and y be the height of pine tree

Subtract x from both sides

height of 4 fir trees = pine tree +24

Substitute 21-x or y in the above equation

Add x on both sides

Divide by 5 on both sides
x=9
Now plug in 9 for x and find out y


y=12
Height of fir tree = 9 meters
height of pine tree= 12 meters
