The bags of candy that was sold is 6

The bags of cookies that was sold is 10.

<h3>What are the linear equations that represent the question?</h3>

$8.50c + $4.50o = 79 equation 1

o - c = 6

o = 6 + c  equation 2

Where:

  • o = bags of cookies sold
  • c = bags of candies sold

<h3>How many  bags of candy and cookies were sold?</h3>

Substitute for o in equation 1 using equation 2

$8.50c + $4.50(6 + c) = 79

$8.50c + 27 + 4.50c = 79

$8.50c + 4.50c = 79 - 27

$13c = 52

c = 52 / 13

c = 4

Substitute for c in equation 2

0 = 6 + 4 = 10

If f(x) varies directly with x2, and f(x) = 96 when x = 4, find the value of f(2).
Scilla [17]
F ( x ) = k * x²
f ( 4 ) = 96
96 = k * 4²
96 = 16 k
k = 96 : 16
k = 6
f ( 2 ) = 6 * 2² = 6 * 4 = 24
