Tabitha Tidbits costs $7 per bag, and Figaro Flakes is $5.50 per bag.
You need to set up a system of equations. Use "x" for Tabitha Tidbits and "y" for Figaro Flakes, and let the total cost of each trip equal c. Using the equation ax+by=c, substitute the cost of each trip in for c, and the number of bags for each food for a and b respectively. The two equations will be:
3x+4y=43
3x+6y=54
Isolate x in the first equation and you will get:
x=(43-4y)/3
Substitute the above equation for x into the other equation:
3*((43-4y)/3)+6y=54
Isolate y in this equation, and you will get 11/2, which is 5.5
So the cost of one bag of Figaro Flakes is $5.50
Now substitute this into the equation where you isolated x:
(43-4(5.5))/3
You will get x=7, so a bag of Tabitha Tidbits is $7

99. What is the greatest prime factor of 5,355?<br> A. 17<br> B. 51<br> C. 119<br> D. 131<br> E. 153
NemiM [27]
Hello,

5355 is divisble by 3 since 5+3+5+5=18 is divisible by 3
5355=3*1785
1785 is divisble by 3 since 1+7+8+5=21 is divisible by 3
1785=3*595
595 is not divisible by 3 but by 5
595=5*119
119 is divisible by 7 since 1*2+1*3+9*1=14 is divisible by 7.
119=7*17

17 is prime

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

A = LW

W = A/L

W = (x^2 + 16x + 55)/(x + 11)

W = [(x + 11)(x + 5)]/(x + 11)

W = x + 5
