Mike and his friends bought cheese wafers for $2 per packet and chocolate wafers for $1 per packet at a carnival. They spent a t

otal of $25 to buy a total of 20 packets of wafers of the two varieties.
Part A: Write a system of equations that can be solved to find the number of packets of cheese wafers and the number of packets of chocolate wafers that Mike and his friends bought at the carnival. Define the variables used in the equations. (5 points)

Part B: How many packets of chocolate wafers and cheese wafers did they buy? Explain how you got the answer and why you selected a particular method to get the answer. (5 points)

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 are the coordinates of the point on the directedline segment from K(-5,-4) to L(5,1) that partitionsthe segment into a rati
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
You can solve this either just plain algebra or with the use of trigonometry.
In this case, we'll just use algebra.
 
So, if we let M be the the point that partitions the segment into a ratio of 3:2, we have this relation:
KM/ML = 3/2
KM = 1.5 ML

We also have this:
KL = KM + ML
Substituting KM,
KL = (3/2) ML + ML
KL = 2.5 ML

Using the distance formula and the given coordinates of the K and L, we get the length of KL
KL = sqrt ( (5-(-5)^2 + (1-(-4))^2 ) = 5 sqrt(5)

Since,
KL = 2.5 ML

Substituting KL,
ML = (1/2.5) KL = (1/2.5) 5 sqrt(5) = 2 sqrt(5)

Using again the distance formula from M to L and letting (x,y) as the coordinates of the point M
ML = 2 sqrt(5) = sqrt ( (5-x)^2 + (1-y)^2 )   [let this be equation 1]

In order to solve this, we need to find an expression of y in terms of x. We can use the equation of the line KL.
The slope m is:
m = (1-(-4))/(5-(-5) = 0.5

Using the general form of the linear equation:
y = mx +b
We substitue m and the coordinate of K or L. We'll just use K.
-5 = (0.5)(-4) + b
b = -1.5

So equation of the line is
y = 0.5x - 1.5      [let this be equation 2]

Substitute equation 2 to equation 1 and solving for x, we get 2 values of x,
x=1, x=9

Since 9 does not make sense (it does not lie on the line), we choose x=1.
Using the equation of the line, we get y which is -1.

So, we get the coordinates of point M which is (1,-1)

Find c.
Alexxx [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  14.9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

To find c using the Law of Sines, you must know angle C. That is found from ...

  C = 180° -A -B = 180° -150° -12° = 18°

Then the law of sines tells you ...

  c/sin(C) = b/sin(B)

  c = b·sin(C)/sin(B) = (10 cm)·sin(18°)/sin(12°)

  c ≈ 14.9 cm

Find the Prime Factorization of -165
Ghella [55]

Answer:

(-1)(11)(3)(5)

Step-by-step explanation:

First off:  -165 separates into the factors (-1) and (165).  Next, we divide 165 by 15, obtaining 15(11).

So far, we have (-1)(11)(15).

15 is still factorable.  We get:

(-1)(11)(3)(5), which is the desired prime factorization of -165.
