ps. Your total bill​ (before tax) was ​$33.60. If a bottle of

Answer:

One gallon of milk costs $3.64

One  bottle of water costs $2.54

One bag of chips costs $0.79

Step-by-step explanation:

m represent gallons of milk

w represents  bottles of water

c represents snack-size bags of chips

t = total bill

t = m + w + c         ... eq 1

t = $33.60

but

w = 2c

m = 1.90 + w

m = 1.9 + 2c

Slot in the values in eq 1

33.60 = (1.9 + 2c ) + 2c + c

33.60 = 1.9 + 5c

33.60 - 1.9 = 5c

31.7 = 5c

c = $6.34

Slot in the value of c in w and m

w = 2c

w = 2(6.34)

w = $12.68

m = 1.9 + 2c

m = 1.9 + 2(6.34)

m = $14.58

4 gallons of milk cost $14.58

Therefore, one gallon if milk costs = 14.58/4 = $3.64

5 bottles of water cost $12.68

Therefore, one bottle of water costs = 12.68/5 = $2.54

8 bags of chips = $6.34

Therefore, one bag of chips cost = 6.34/8 = $0.79

1) A scuba diver dives beneath the surface of the water 34 feet. He swims up 13 feet closer to the surface, then swims back down
Nataliya [291]
1. 0 - 34 + 13 - 5 = -26.....26 ft below the surface

2. y = 15x + 50
    220 = 15x + 50
    220 - 50 = 15x
    170 = 15x
    170/15 = x
    11 1/3 = x......he worked 11 1/3 hrs.......not sure about this...because it does not specify how many visits he made...but if this was just for 1 visit, then he worked 11 1/3 hrs

I need help, I don't know how to do it.
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this problem we can use the Pythagorean theorem

UT and TL are the legs, while LU is the hypotenuse

We have to find LU so we can proceed like this

x^2 + (x+1)^2 = LU^2

x^2 + x^2 + 1 + 2x = LU^2

2x^2 + 2x + 1 = LU^2

LU = +/- \sqrt{2x^2+2x+1

we have to take only the positive value because a length can’t be negative.

2x^2 + 2x + 1 is positive for every value of x, so the final answer is

\sqrt{2x^2+2x+1}

B. Why does using FOIL on polynomial expressions match so closely to integer
Anastasy [175]
FOIL is a mnemonic rule for multiplying binomial (that is, two-term) algebraic expressions.
FOIL abbreviates the sequence "First, Outside, Inside, Last"; it's a way of remembering that the product is the sum of the products of those four combinations of terms.

For instance, if we multiply the two expressions
(x + 1) (x + 2)
then the result is the sum of these four products:
x times x (the First terms of each expression)
x times 2 (the Outside pair of terms)
1 times x (the Inside pair of terms)
1 times 2 (the Last terms of each expression)
and so
(x + 1) (x + 2) = x^2 + 2x + 1x + 2 = x^2 + 3x + 2
[where the ^ is the usual way we indicate exponents here in Answers, because they're hard to represent in an online text environment].

Now, compare this to multiplying a pair of two-digit integers:
37 × 43
= (30 × 40) + (30 × 3) + (7 × 40) + (7 × 3)
= 1200 + 90 + 280 + 21
= 1591

The reason the two processes resemble each other is that multiplication is multiplication; the difference in the ways we represent the factors doesn't make it a fundamentally different operation.
