Answer:

$2.98

Step-by-step explanation:

Let price of 1 bag of chips be x

Let price of 1 jar of dipping sauce be y

From the 1st statement, we can write:

5x + 4y = 21.82

From the 2nd statement, we can write:

4x + 3y = 16.86

We will multiply 1st equation by 4 and 2nd equation by -5 to get:

4(5x + 4y = 21.82) = 20x + 16 y = 87.28

-5(4x + 3y = 16.86) = -20x -15y = -84.30

Adding, we get:

20x + 16 y = 87.28

-20x -15y = -84.30

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

y = 2.98

This is price of 1 jar of dipping sauce - $2.98

At noon, ship A is 170 km west of ship B. Ship A is sailing east at 35 km/h and ship B is sailing north at 20 km/h. How fast is
garik1379 [7]
Check the picture below.

now, keep in mind that ship B is going at 20kph, thus from noon to 4pm, is 4 hours, so it has travelled by then 20 * 4 or 80 kilometers, thus b = 80.

whilst the ship B is moving north, the distance "a" is not really changing, and thus is a constant, that matters because the derivative of a constant is 0.

\bf c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \stackrel{chain~rule}{2c\cfrac{dc}{dt}}=0+2b\cfrac{db}{dt}\implies \cfrac{dc}{dt}=\cfrac{b\frac{db}{dt}}{c}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\begin{cases}&#10;\frac{db}{dt}=20\\&#10;c=10\sqrt{353}\\&#10;b=80&#10;\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{dc}{dt}=\cfrac{80\cdot 20}{10\sqrt{353}}\implies \cfrac{dc}{dt}=\cfrac{160}{\sqrt{353}}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{and rationalizing the denominator}\implies \cfrac{160\sqrt{353}}{353}
