Answer:

Company B

Step-by-step explanation:

Company A is offering 2.5 pounds of chocolate in $32.5 while Company B is offering 2.75 pounds of chocolate in the same price

Per pound of company A=32.5/2.5

Company A per pound=$13

Per pound of company B=32.5/2.75

B=$11.8

Hence company B is offering the lowest price per pound

Which system of equations is consistent and dependent?
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4x − y = −11

2x + 3y = 5

lets multiply the second equation by -2 and add it to the first:

4x − y = −11

-4x - 6y = -10

------------------

0  - 7y = -21

y = -21/-7

y = 3

now we substitute this result in the first equation to find x:

4x − y = −11

4x - 3 = -11

4x = -8

x = -8/4

x = 2

so the solution is y = 3 and x =2

4x − 9y = −21

−10y = −30

we solve for y

−10y = −30

y = -30/-10

y = 3

and substitute in the first equation:

4x − 9y = −21

4x − 9(3) = −21

4x - 27 = -21

4x = 6

x = 6/4 = 3/2

so the solution is x = 3/2 and y = 3

4x + 3y = 5

2y = −6

we solve for y:

2y = −6

y = -6/2

y = -3

we do substitute in the first equation:

4x + 3y = 5

4x + 3(-3) = 5

4x - 9 = 5

4x = 14

x = 14/4

x = 7/2

so the solution is x = 7/2 and y = -3

7x − 3y = −11

9x = −6

we solve for x:

9x = −6

x = -6/9

x = -2/3

then we substitute in the first equation the result found:

7x − 3y = −11

7(-2/3) − 3y = −11

-14/3 - 3y = -11

we multiply by 3 to eliminate fractions:

-14 - 9y = -33

9y = 19

y = 19/9

so the solution is x = -2/3 and y = 19/9

12x − 3y = −33

14x = −28

we solve for x:

14x = −28

x = -28/14

x = -2

then we substitute in the first equation:

12x − 3y = −33

12(-2) − 3y = −33

-24 - 3y = -33

3y = 9

y = 3

then the solution is x = -2 and y = 3

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

The population of the town in the year 1962 will be 1730.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of Smallville can be found by the equation P(t) = Ie^{rt}, where P(t) is the population at time t, r represents the rate of growth, and I is the initial population.

Now, if there are 225 residents in 1950 and the population of the town grows at a rate of 17% per year, then the population of the town in the year 1962 will be P(12) = 225 e^{0.17 \times 12} = 1730 (Approximate)
