Step-by-step explanation:
the 3 equation can not be factorised. Because they will result to fraction
Answer: The cost of each pound of jellybean is $2.5
The cost for each pound of trail mix is $1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost for each pound of jellybeans be x.
Let the cost of each pound of trail mix be y.
Based on the information given, we can form an equation which will be:
For 2 pounds of jellybeans and 12 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is $23. This will be:
2x + 12y = 23 ...... i
For 5 pounds of jellybeans and 3 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is $17. This will be:
5x + 3y = 17...... ii
2x + 12y = 23 ...... i
5x + 3y = 17...... ii
Multiply equation i by 5
Multiply equation ii by 2
10x + 60y = 115 ...... iii
10x + 6y = 34 ..... iv
Subtract iv from iii
54y = 81
y = 81/54
y = 1.5
The cost for each pound of trail mix is $1.5
From equation i
2x + 12y = 23
2x + 12(1.5) = 23
2x + 18 = 23
2x = 23 - 18
2x = 5
x = 5/2 = 2.5
The cost of each pound of jellybean is $2.5
Well if one pound of yogurt cost 55 (cents?)
Two yogurts cost $1.10
Three yogurts cost $1.65
Four yogurts cost $2.20
Five yogurts cost $2.75
And finally...
Six yogurts cost $3.30
Hope this helps!
(2x-15) + 11x = 180
Combine your like terms in get
13x - 15 = 180
Add 15 on both sides
13x - 15 = 180
+15 + 15
13x = 195
Divide each side by 13 and get
x = 15
