Drinks, x, and popcorn, y.
125.50 = 12y+7x
87.50=6y+8x

To solve for the cost of drinks, x, isolate the variable
125.50 = 12y + 7x
subtract 12y from both sides
125.50 - 12y = 7x
divide both sides by 7
125.50/7 -12/7y = x

plug that into the other equation
<span>87.50=6y+8x
87.50 = 6y + 8(125.50/7 - 12/7y)
Distribute </span><span>8(125.50/7 - 12/7y)
Then combine like terms
then subtract and divide to isolate y</span>
Solve for y
y = 7.25

Plug that into the first equation to solve for x
<span>125.50 = 12y+7x
125.50 = 12(7.25) + 7x
125.50 = 87 + 7x
subtract 87 from both sides
38.5 = 7x
divide both sides by 7
5.5 = x

There, you have the cost of the drinks, $5.5, and the cost of the popcorn, $7.25.

To check: you would plug in what you got for x and y into the original equations and see if they equal right... I did it on paper and it was right!!

Hope this helps</span>

Is the expression below a perfect square trinomial or the difference of two squares?
DanielleElmas [232]

The expression shown below is a difference of two squares.

<h3>Is a given expression a perfect square trinomial or a difference of two squares?</h3>

In this problem we have an algebraic expression that has to be checked by algebraic procedures. The complete procedure is shown below:

(x² + 8 · x + 16) · (x² - 8 · x + 16)                  Given

(x + 4)² · (x - 4)²                                           Perfect square trinomial

[(x + 4) · (x - 4)] · [(x + 4) · (x - 4)]                 Definition of power / Associative and commutative property

(x² - 16)²                                                      Difference of squares / Definition of power / Result

The expression shown below is a difference of two squares.
