If x is the first price of bubble gum and
y is the number of prices she bought

$2.00+16 cents= 216 cents
216/x=y

If the first price will be 1 penny cheaper the price will be (x-1) and will get 3 more pieces of candy so will have y+3

216/(x-1)=y+3

Since both 216/x=y and 216/(x-1)=y+3 can be true in the same time this is a system of equations that will help us find y.

If 216/x=y then x=216/y
Substitute x in the other equation
216/(216/y)-1=y+3
y^2 +3y-648=0
And y could be 24 pieces and 27 pieces

Check
216cents /24 pieces= 9 cents per piece
Cheaper by 1 penny will be 8 cents
216//8=27 pieces that are 3 more than 24

Same logic for 27 pieces bought

Rhonda took $20 with her to spend on popcorn and candy for herself and her friends at the movie theater. The price for each bag
MrRa [10]

The linear equation that represents the scenario is 5x + 2.5y = 20

<h3>How to determine the equation?</h3>

The given parameters are:

  • Popcorn = $5 per bag
  • Candy = $2.5 per bag i.e. half the price of pop corn

Let x represents popcorn and y represents candy.

So, we have:

5x + 2.5y = 20

The intercepts in this case are the maximum number of candy and popcorn Rhonda can buy

See attachment for the graph

Solve i + j + t (3i - j) = -i + s (j)<br> In the context of Vector Equations of a Line
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

r = i + j + (-2/3)(3i - j)

Step-by-step explanation:

Vector Equation of a line - r = a + kb ; where r is the resultant vector of adding vector a and vector b and k is a constant

if a = i + j ; b = t(3i - j) and r = -i +s(j)

for this to be true all the vector components must be equal

summing i 's

i + 3ti  = -i; then t = -2/3

j - tj = sj; then s = 1-t; substitue t; s=1+2/3 = 5/3

so r = i + j + (-2/3)(3i - j) which will symplify to -i + 5/3j
