A. 2x+y=25; x+y=20
x represents cheese wafers and y represents chocolate wafers.

B. I will choose elimination since there is y and y. I can multiply one equation by -1 to get y and -y, which cancels out.
2x+y=25
-x-y=-20

Add equations
x=5

Plug x in
5+y=20
y=15

Final answer: 5 cheese wafers, 15 chocolate wafers

What is the median of the following set of numbers?
Gnesinka [82]
21, 45, 121, 300, 312, 333, 347, 421, 614,

The median is the middle number of a data set therefore you need to arrange the data is order from smallest to largest as I have done above. Then you need to find the number in the middle which is 312 in this case by finding the number which has the central position (position 5 in this case) of the data set. If there are an even number of numbers in the data set, you add them together and divide by 2 though that is not necessary this time as there are an odd number of numbers.

URGENT!!!!!!!! PLEASE HELP ASAP TIMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer:

x = 18 and y = 6√10

Step-by-step explanation:

First using pythagoras theorem on the small triangle

h² = 6² + 2²

h² = 36 + 4

h² = 40

h= √40

h = √4 * 10

h = 2√10

Using the similarity theorem;

y/2√10 = 6/2

y/√10 = 6

y = 6√10

To get x we will use the pythagoras theorem

y² = x²+6²

(6√10)² = x² + 36

360 = x² + 36

x² = 360 - 36

x² = 324

x = 18

Hence x = 18 and y = 6√10
