If you set you the equations such as 3c+5w=23 and 6c+2w=20 and then solve the first equation for c, you get c= (23-5w)/3 Taking that equation and substituting it for 'c' in the second equation (so the second equation becomes: 6((23-5w)/3)+2w=20  ) you get w=3.25 If you plug that back into your first equation (so it now becomes: 3c+5(3.25)=23 ) you get c=2.25 So the answer would be walnuts cost $3.25 per lb and choc. chips cost $2.25 per lb.

Find the square root of 1.69? show work ...?
andreyandreev [35.5K]
Maybe something like this:
1.69 = 169 / 100
√ 1.69 = √ ( 169 /100 ) = √169 / √ 100 = 13 / 10 = 1.3
Thank you.
