Make this on form of a simultaneous equation:

assume jelly beans is J and trail mix is T

8J+4T=21
3J+2T=9
then solve

multiply the first equation by 3 and second equation by 8(SO THE J CAN DISAPPEAR[ELIMINATION METHOD])

24J+12T=63
24J+16T=72

Subtract

-4T=-9
T=0.44

then substitute the T to any one of the equation

3J+2(0.44)=9
3J+0.88=9
3J=8.12
J=2.71


therefore, jelly beans= $2.71 and trail mix=$0.44

Systems of linear equations question 7 which system of equation has no solution
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

The bottom left system of equations has no solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

A solution to the system of equations is a point where the graphs of equations  intersect, because the intersection point represents a point that is common to both equations; Therefore, a system that has no solutions, will have graphs that will never intersect.

Now, looking at the 4 graphs given, we see that the upper-left graph represents lines which intersect; therefore, this system has a solution.

The upper-right graph represents only one equation and not a system—it could well be that the red line hides another line that is exactly beneath it, in which case the system would have infinitely many solutions.

The bottom-left graph represents lines that are parallel—they are never going to meet; therefore, this system has no solutions.

The bottom-right graph represents lines that have a point of intersect, and therefore, have a solution.

Thus only the bottom-right graph has no solutions.

In △JKL, solve for x. <br><br> (A)74.89<br> (B)30.29<br> (C)38.16<br> (D)66.73
Stels [109]

ANSWER

(C)38.16

EXPLANATION

The acute angle given in the right triangle is 27°.

The side length adjacent to the 27° angle is 34 units.

The side length we want to find is x units, which is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

We use the cosine ratio to obtain:

\cos(27 \degree)  =  \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

\cos(27 \degree)  =  \frac{34}{x}

Solve for x,

x  =  \frac{34}{\cos(27 \degree)}

x = 38.16

to the nearest hundredth.

Find an explicit formula for the geometric sequence -9, -18, -36, -72,....<br> c(n) =
Olin [163]

Answer:

n=-9

Step-by-step explanation:

c is the number in the sequence and n is the number you have to multiply by. If the c is 8 you would do -9 times 8.
