Answer:
Bag of windflower bulbs costs $8.50
Package of crocus bulbs costs $17.60
Step-by-step explanation:
Let $x be the price of one bag of windflower bulbs and $y be the price of one package of crocus bulbs.
1. Mark sold 2 bags of windflower bulbs for $2x and 5 packages of crocus bulbs for $5y. In total he earned $(2x+5y) that is $105. So,
2x+5y=105
2. Julio sold 9 bags of windflower bulbs for $9x and 5 packages of crocus bulbs for $5y. In total he earned $(9x+5y) that is $164.50. So,
9x+5y=164.50
3. You get the system of two equations:
From the first equation
Substitute it into the second equation:
9x+105-2x=164.50
7x=164.50-105
7x=59.5
x=$8.50
So,
5y=105-2·8.5
5y=105-17
5y=88
y=$17.60
After talking with you here are two different options I think you are trying to ask:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you are talking about:
Answer: -62
Explanation:
PEMDAS tells us we need to do the exponent first:
-12³ = (-12)³ = -1728
<em>The parentheses are important so you cube the negative sign as well!</em>
3³ = 27
-1728 / 27 = -62
simplified is -62
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you are talking about (-1)³
Answer: -
Explanation:
First, let us turn -1 and two thirds into a mixed number:
Ignoring the negative for now, we can 1 times 3 is 3. 3 plus 2 is 5. 5/3 is 5/3. Adding in the negative we get
To cube it we must do:
()(
)(
)
3 times 3 (9) times 3 is 27
5 times 5 (25) times 5 is 125
So we have 125/27
For the negative, we have three - - -
Two cancel each other out, and we are left with one (-) so our answer is negative
(-1)³ simplifed is -
