Answer: One DVD is $12 and one book is $1
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the DVD be d and the book be b.
Case 1:
3d + 4b = $40.......(1)
Case 2:
1d + 6b = $18........... (2)
In this equations above, I intend to eliminate variable d, so I'm going to multiply the coefficient of d in (1) to multiply (2)
3 × (1d + 6b = 18)
3d + 18b = 54........ .(3)
Then, subtract (1) from (3)
3d + 18b = 54
- ( 3d + 4b = 40)
3d - 3d + 18b - 4b = 54 - 40
0 + 14b = 14
b = 14/14
b = 1.
Then substitute 1 for b in (2)
1d + 6(1) = 18
d + 6 = 18
d = 18 - 6
d = 12.
(d,b) = (12,1)
Answer:
The 8 pounds bag
Step-by-step explanation:
Case 1 :
a pound cost 4/3
case 2 :
a pound cost 9/8
4×8 > 9×3
then

Therefore the 8 pound bag costs less
Answer:
Distance = 7.8 units
Step-by-step explanation:
In coordinate geometry, the distance between the 2 points is given by

where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are coordinates of the 2 points.
Above the 2 points given are, (-2,-1) and (3,5).
<em>x1 = -2 , y1 = -1 , x2 = 3, y2 = 5</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>Distance = 7.8102 units</em>
To the nearest tenth, Distance = 7.8 units
