<span>Let P be the cost per pound of peanuts. Let M be the cost per pound of M&M's. We can set up two equations to solve this question. (1) 8P + 5M = 55.27 (2) 6P + 4M = 42.70 Let's multiply equation (1) by 3. Let's multiply equation (2) by 4. (1) 24P + 15M = 165.81 (2) 24P + 16M = 170.80 Let's subtract equation (1) from equation (2). M = 4.99 Let's put M = 4.99 in equation (2) to find P. 6P + 4(4.99) = 42.70 6P = 42.70 - 19.96 6P = 22.74 P = 22.74 / 6 P = 3.79 The cost per pound of peanuts is $3.79 The cost per pound of M&M's is $4.99</span>

a² + b² = c²

c² = 8² + 8²

c² = 64 + 64

c² = 128

c = √128

c =8√2 (radical form) or  11.31 feet (nearest hundredth)

Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using elimination, and fill in the blanks.
Alexandra [31]
37x + 45y = 7940
75x + 45y = 10,410

Since 45y is in both equations we can more easily transfer from first equation to 2nd equation.

In the first equation, subtract 37x from each side and you have 45y = 7940 - 37x. Replace the 45y in the second equation with (7940 - 37x).

Now you have 75x + (7940 - 37x) = 10,410

Simplify by combining 75x - 37x and you have 38x + 7940 = 10,410

Subtract 7940 from both sides and you have 38x = 2470.

Divide both sides by 38 and you have x = 65

To solve for y, take you first equation (or even the second one) and substitute c for 65.

(37 x 65) + 45y = 7940
2405 + 45y = 7940

Subtract 2405 from each side.

45y = 5535

Divide each side by 45 and you have y = 123
