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 the 3 × 3 system shown below. Enter the values of x, y, and z. X + 2y – z = –3 (1) 2x – y + z = 5 (2) x – y + z = 4 (3)
Svet_ta [14]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

\boxed{x=1, \y=-1, \ z=2}

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We will use the Gaussian elimination method to solve this problem. To do so, let's follow the following steps:

Step 1: Let's multiply first equation by −2. Next, add the result to the second equation. So:

\begin{array}{ cccc }~~ x&+~~2~ y&-~~~~~ z&~=~-3\\&-~~~5~ y&+~~3~ z&~=~11\\~~ x&-~~~~~ y&+~~~~ z&~=~4\end{array}

Step 2: Let's multiply first equation by −1. Next, add the result to the third equation. Thus:

\begin{array}{ cccc }~~ x&+~~2~ y&-~~~~~ z&~=~-3\\&-~~~5~ y&+~~3~ z&~=~11\\&-~~~3~ y&+~~2~ z&~=~7\end{array}

Step 3: Let's multiply second equation by −35, Next, add the result to the third equation. Therefore:

\begin{array}{ cccc }~~ x&+~~2~ y&-~~~~~ z&~=~-3\\&-~~~5~ y&+~~3~ z&~=~11\\&&+~~\frac{ 1 }{ 5 }~ z&~=~\frac{ 2 }{ 5 }\end{array}

Step 4: solve for z, then for y, then for x:

\frac{ 1 }{ 5 } ~ z & = \frac{ 2 }{ 5 } \\ \\ \boxed{z & = 2}

-5y+3z &= 11\\-5y+3\cdot 2 &= 11\\ \\ \boxed{y &= -1}

By substituting y=-1 \ and \ z=2 into the first equation, we get the x. So:

x+2(-1)-2=-3 \\ \\ x-2-2=-3 \\ \\ \boxed{x=1}

sara buys 3 gallons of juice. she want to fill 1 pint bottles with juice. how many 1 pint bottles can sara completely fill with
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

So Sara can fill 24 pint bottles completly with 3 gallons of juice.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a rule of three.

Each pint has 0.125 gallons. How many pints are 3 gallons?

1 pint - 0.125 gallons

x pints - 3 gallons

0.125x = 3

x = \frac{3}{0.125}

x = 24

So Sara can fill 24 pint bottles completly with 3 gallons of juice.

19 ,20 ,21 please show your work (worth 100 points)
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

19 - you would divide number of beads by beads per bracelet to get number of bracelets

blue = 258/6 = 43

silver = 428/9 = 47.56, round down because we're looking at complete bracelets = 47

rose = 102/3 = 34

white = 258/7 =36.86, round down again = 36

20 - they can make 43 + 47 + 34 + 36 = 160 bracelets before they run out, and they will run out of rose first since it has the smallest number of bracelets

21 - multiply num of beads by num of bracelets for each color and add them up

blue = 6 * 7 = 42

silver = 9 * 7 = 63

rose = 3 * 7 = 21

white = 7 * 7 = 49

42 + 63 + 21 + 49 = 175
