a. The system of equations are:

3x + 5y = 22

12x + 2y = 25

2. Cost for each pound of almond (x) = $1.5

Cost for each pound of jelly beans (y) = $3.5

<h3>How to Solve a System of Equations?</h3>

From the information given above, we can create the system of equations that will be used in solving the problem as shown below.

a. The system of equations that represents the situation is:

3x + 5y = 22 ----> equation 1

12x + 2y = 25 ----> equation 2

b. Multiply equation 1 by 2, and equation 2 by 5:

6x + 10y = 44 ----> equation 3

60x + 10y = 125 ----> equation 4

Subtract equation 4 from equation 3

-54x = -81

-54x/-54 = -81/-54

x = 1.5

Cost for each pound of almond (x) = $1.5

Substitute x = 1.5 into equation 1

3x + 5y = 22 ----> equation 1

3(1.5) + 5y = 22

4.5 + 5y = 22

5y = 22 - 4.5

5y = 17.5

5y/5 = 17.5/5

y = 3.5

Cost for each pound of jelly beans (y) = $3.5

Find limit as x approaches 1 for x-1/ x^2-3x+2
zysi [14]

I'm going to assume that you meant the following:

  (x-1)

---------------

x^2-3x+2


Factoring the denominator, we get:

  (x-1)

------------  

(x-1)(x-2)

Notice that we have x-1 in both the numerator and the denominator.  This factor cancels.  HOWEVER:  x can still not equal 1, which would lead to div. by zero.  With the factor x-1 cancelled, we have   1 / (x-2).  As x approaches 1 from either side, y approaches 1 / (1-2), or 1 / (-1), or -1.  Thus, the limit exists and is -1.

In 2015, the population of a small town in Florida is 95. If he population increases 15% every year, approximately what will the
vova2212 [387]

The population is increasing every year. so we use exponential growth function

y=a(1+r)^x

Where 'a' is the initial population

r is the rate of increase

x is the years

y is the final population

In 2015, the population of a small town in Florida is 95

Initial population a= 95

r= 15%= 0.15

x = 2023 - 2015 = 8 years

Plug in all the values and find out y

y=a(1+r)^x

y=95(1+0.15)^8

y = 290.607

The population in 2023 is 291
