The scouts packed 9 boxes of different kinds of chips for their trip. Each box had 10 bags of chips. These clues show what they

had left at the end of the trip. They ate all the rest.
Clues:

2 full boxes of potato chips and 3 bags left over
1 fewer box of nacho chips than potato chips, with no bags left over
twice as many loose bags of barbecue chips than loose bags of potato chips, with no full boxes left over

The scouts eat 51 bags of chips on their trip

<h3>How to determine the number of bags of chips?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Boxes = 9

Bag = 10 chips

2 full boxes of potato chips and 3 bags left over.

This represents:

Potato chips = 2 * 10 + 3

Potato chips = 23 i.e. 23 bags potato chips are left over

1 fewer box of nacho chips than potato chips, with no bags left over

This represents

Nacho chips = (2 - 1) * 10

Nacho chips = 10 i.e. 10 bags of nacho chips are left over

The loose bags of potato chips is 3.

So, we have:

Barbecue chips = 2 * 3 bags

Barbecue chips = 6 bags

At this point, we have:

  • Potato chips = 23 bags
  • Nacho chips = 10 bags
  • Barbecue chips = 6 bags

The total number of bags left over is

Total = 23 + 10 + 6

Total = 39

The number of bags eaten is:

Eaten = 9 * 10 - 39

Evaluate

Eaten = 51

Hence, the scouts eat 51 bags of chips on their trip

Solve y=3x-7 and 4x+3y=18 by substitution
Schach [20]

Answer:

x = 3

y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 3(3x - 7) = 18 <em>Substitute</em><em> </em><em>y</em>

4x + 9x - 21 = 18 <em>Simply</em>

13x - 21 = 18 <em>Add</em><em> </em><em>like</em><em> </em><em>terms</em>

13x = 39 <em>Add</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>1</em>

x = 3 <em>Divide</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>3</em>

y = 3(3) - 7 <em>Substitute</em><em> </em><em>x</em>

y = 9 - 7 <em>Simply</em>

y = 2 <em>Subtract</em>

Let's check:

4(3) + 3(2) = 18

12 + 6 = 18

18 = 18

It works!

Two systems of equations are shown below: System A System B 3x + 2y = 3 −x − 14y = 1 −2x − 8y = −1 −2x − 8y = −1 Which of the fo
Sauron [17]

The two linear equations represented in system A as :

3 x + 2 y =3   -------(1)

- 2 x - 8 y = -1  ------(2)

(1) × 2 + (2) × 3 gives

⇒ 6 x + 4 y - 6 x - 24 y = 6 -3

⇒ - 20 y = 3

⇒ y = \frac{-3}{20}

Putting the value of y in equation (1), we get

3 x  - \frac{6}{20}=3\\\\ 3 x= \frac{66}{20} \\\\ x=\frac{11}{10}

Two linear equation represented in system B is:

3.   -x - 14 y =1

4.   - 2 x - 8 y = -1

-2 ×Equation (3) + Equation (4)=

2 x +28 y- 2 x - 8 y= -2 -1

⇒ 20 y = -3

⇒y =\frac{-3}{20}

Putting the value of y in equation (3),we get

-x + \frac{42}{20}=1 \\\\ x=\frac{22}{20}=\frac{11}{10}

As Two system , that is system (A) and System (B) has same solution.

By looking at all the options , i found that Option (D) is correct. The two system will have the same solution because the first equation of System B is obtained by adding the first equation of System A to 2 times the second equation of System A.

How do I do this I’m not sure on this one
jonny [76]
Hi! So basically what you'll be doing is multiplying the exponents together :))
So It'd be 3x5 which is 15 so it'd be 10 to the power of 15.

Hope I helped :)) and ask more if you need help
