Answer:

Cost of a pound of chocolate chips: $3.5

Cost of a pound of walnuts: $1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

x - cost of a pound of chocolate chips

y - cost of a pound of walnuts

We create two equations based on the information we have:

3x+2y=13

8x+4y=33

The whole point of these problems os to get rid of x or y. In this question, we can do this by multiplying both sides of the first equation by 2, and then subtracting it from the second equation:

8x+4y=33

6x+4y=26

2x=7

x=3.5

Then we change x for 3.5 in the first equation:

3×3.5+2y=13

10.5+2y=13

2y=2.5

y=1.25

Hope this helps!

What are all prime numbers x which: x<10

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

5,7,3,2

Step-by-step explanation:

It's pretty simple: a prime number is a number that can *only* be divided by the number 1 and it's own.

I just checked all the numbers from 1 to 10 in order to solve this problem.

If you have any questions about the way I solved it, don't hesitate to ask!

What is the value of x? Enter your answer in the box. x = ___

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

x=8

Explanation:

The picture tells us that the triangle is equilateral (this means that each angle is 60°). We can assume this because each side has been marked with the same line.

Because each angle is equal to 60°, this means that:

7x+4=60

Now solve for x:

7x=56
x=8

Find an equation of the tangent line to the hyperbola y = 3/x at the point (3, 1).

Vesna [10]

Let's find the derivative of that hyperbola in order to find a slope formula to help us with this equation. We already have an x and y value. The derivative is found this way: $y'= \frac{x(0)-3(1)}{x^2}$ so $y'=- \frac{3}{x^2}$ . The derivative supplies us with the slope formula we need to write the equation. Sub in the x value of 3 to find what the slope is: $y'=- \frac{3}{3^2}=- \frac{3}{9}=- \frac{1}{3}$ . So in our slope-intercept equation, x = 3, y = 1, and m = -1/3. Use these values to solve for b. $1=- \frac{1}{3}(3)+b$ so b = 2. The equation, then, for the line tangent to that hyperbola at that given point is $y=- \frac{1}{3}x+2$
