c = cost per pound of chocolate chips

w = cost per pound of walnuts.

\bf \stackrel{\textit{3 lbs of "c"}}{3c}+\stackrel{\textit{5 lbs of "w"}}{5w}~~=~~\stackrel{\textit{costs}}{15} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{12 lbs of "c"}}{12c}+\stackrel{\textit{2 lbs of "w"}}{2w}~~=~~\stackrel{\textit{costs}}{33} \end{cases}\qquad \impliedby \textit{let's use elimination} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \begin{array}{llccccccl} 3c+5w=15&\times (-4)\implies &-12c&+&-20w&=&-60\\ 12c+2w=33&&12c&+&2w&=&33\\ \cline{3-7}\\ &&0&&-18w&=&-27 \end{array}

\bf -18w=-27\implies w=\cfrac{-27}{-18}\implies \blacktriangleright w=\cfrac{3}{2} \blacktriangleleft \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{substituting on the 1st equation}}{3c+5\left(\cfrac{3}{2} \right)=15}\implies 3c+\cfrac{15}{2}=15 \implies \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{2}}{2\left( 3c+\cfrac{15}{2} \right)=2(15)} \\\\\\ 6c+15=30\implies 6c=15\implies c=\cfrac{15}{6}\implies \blacktriangleright c=\cfrac{5}{2} \blacktriangleleft

Which would be the next step in solving for matrix A?
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

A=(16 -5 0 -9)-(3 -4 -11 24)

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution process for any algebraic expression is to "undo" what is done to the variable. Here, matrix A has (3 -4 -11 24) added to it. The next step is to undo that addition, by subtracting that amount from both sides of the equation. The result is ...

  A = (16 -5 0 -9)-(3 -4 -11 24)

_____

We assume there are typos in the answer choices listed here.

25x=2544 what does x represent
Georgia [21]
Hey there! 

Firstly, we are going to divide by 25 on each of your sides because it paired off with a variable

Here's what I meant! 

\frac{25x}{25} =  \frac{2,544}{25}

We would have to cancel out the: \frac{25x}{25} because it gives us 1

Answer: x =  \frac{2,544}{25}

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

Find the value of x 7x+2=16<br>pls explain​
miskamm [114]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

7x + 2 = 16

Subtracting 2 from both sides

7x + 2 - 2 = 16 - 2

7x = 14

Dividing both sides by 7

7x / 7 = 14 /7

x = 2

Hope it will help :)

I will mark as brainliest. Area of a square is 25^m. Find its Perimeter. With working please
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

perimeter = 20 m

Step-by-step explanation:

given the area of the square = 25 m² and

area of a square = s² ( where s is the side length ), then

s² = 25 ( take the square root of both sides )

s = \sqrt{25} = 5 ← length of side

perimeter = 4s = 4 × 5 = 20 m
