Let j = cost of one jumbo popcorn, and c = cost of one chocolate chip cookie.
Then, based upon the given info, 1j + 2c = $5.
Also, 3j + 5c = $14.50
Let's solve this system of equations using addition/subtraction:
Mult. the first equation by -3, to obtain -3j - 6c = -$15
Now add this result to the 2nd equation:
-3j - 6c = -$15
3j + 5c = $14.50
----------------------
-c = -$0.50, or c = $0.50. Since 3j + 5c = $14.50, subst. $0.50 for c
lets us find j:
3j + 5($0.50) = $14.50, so 3j = $12.00. Thus, j = $4.00.
Jumbo popcorn is $4/bag, and choc. chip cookies $0.50 each.
The attached picture above have the process of answering the question.
Answer: y= -1/2x + 5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
3x = 15 -6y
+6y + 6y
3x +6y =15
-3x -3x
6y= 15-3x divide both sides by 6
y= 15/6 - 3/6x
in slope intercept form us y= -3/6x + 15/6 in simplest form is y= -1/2x + 5/2
Determining a car's depreciation over a ten year period is considered a bivariate.
<h3>What is a bivariate?</h3>
A Bivariate data is made up of two variables that are observed against each other. In determining the deprecation of a car, the cost of the car is observed against the passage of time and the depreciation factor.
