The average speed of the canoe is 5 1/4 in kilometers per hour
You can find the answer by substituting the x-values provided in the question and seeing if you get what the question says.
a satisfies all of the parameters.
b doesn’t satisfy g(-1), so it’s not b.
c doesn’t satisfy g(-1), so it’s not c.
d doesn’t satisfy g(-1), so it’s not d.
The correct answer is a.
Answer:
Hi how are you doing today Jasmine
Set up your two equations:
<span>9x+7y=53 </span>
<span>3x+5y=25 </span>
<span>X=cost per pound of jelly bean </span>
<span>Y=cost per pound of trail mix </span>
<span>Multiply the second equation by (-3): </span>
<span>-9x-15y=-75 </span>
<span>+ 9x+7y=53 <---- copy first equation and add them </span>
<span>—————— </span>
<span>0x-8y=-22 </span>
<span>Then solve for y: </span>
<span>Y=2.76 this is your cost per pound of trail mix. </span>
<span>Then plug y back in to one of the original equations and solve for x: </span>
<span>3x+7(2.75)=25 </span>
<span>X=3.75 this is you cost per pound of jelly beans</span>
