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.

17. Solve the following:<br> x – 3y = 5<br> 5x – 2y = -1
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

(- 1, - 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

x - 3y = 5 → (1)

5x - 2y = - 1 → (2)

Rearrange (1) expressing x in terms of y by adding 3y to both sides

x = 5 + 3y → (3)

Substitute x = 5 + 3y in (2)

5(5 + 3y) - 2y = - 1 ← distribute left side

25 + 15y - 2y = - 1

25 + 13y = - 1 ( subtract 25 from both sides )

13y = - 26 ( divide both sides by 13 )

y = - 2

Substitute y = - 2 in (3) for corresponding value of x

x = 5 + (3 × - 2) = 5 - 6 = - 1

Solution is (- 1, - 2 )

Which equation results from taking the square root of both sides of (x 9)2 = 25? x 3 = ±5 x 3 = ±25 x 9 = ±5 x 9 = ±25.
kow [346]

The equation which is results from taking the square root of both sides of the provided equation is,

(x+9)=\pm5\\

<h3>What is the square root?</h3>

A square root of a number is the value which is when multiplicand by itself gives the same value as the number posses.

Let a number is <em>a. </em>Then this number in the form of square root can be written as,

a=\sqrt{a}\times \sqrt{a}

The given algebraic equation in the problem is,

(x+ 9)^2 = 25

Take the square root, in both sides,

\sqrt{(x+ 9)^2} = \sqrt{25}\\\sqrt{(x+ 9)^2} = \sqrt{5^2}

Cancel out the square root with the square of the number as,

(x+9)=\pm5\\

Hence, the equation which is results from taking the square root of both sides of the provided equation is,

(x+9)=\pm5\\
