Robert went to the grocery store and purchased cans of soup and frozen dinners. each can of soup has 300 mg of sodium and each f

rozen dinner has 500 mg of sodium. Robert purchased a total of 14 cans of soup and frozen dinners which collectively contain 5200 mg of sodium. write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of cans of soup purchased and the number of frozen dinners purchased. Define the variables that you use to write the system.

There are 9 cans of soup and 5 cans of frozen dinner.

The variables used for soup and frozen dinner are x and y respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Soup = x

Frozen Dinner = y

According to given statement of sodium;

300x + 500y = 5200 eqn 1

And,

x + y = 14 eqn 2

Multiplying\ equation\ 2\ with\ 300\\300(x+y=14)\\300x+300y=4200\ Eqn 3\\

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 1;

(300x+500y)-(300x+300y)=5200-4200\\300x+500y-300x-300y=1000\\200y=1000\\y=\frac{1000}{200} \\y=5

Putting value of y in Eqn 1;

300x+500(5)=5200\\300x+2500=5200\\\\Subtracting\ 2500\ from\ both\ sides\ \\300x+2500-2500=5200-2500\\300x=2700\\x=\frac{2700}{300} \\x=9

There are 9 cans of soup and 5 cans of frozen dinner.

The variables used for soup and frozen dinner are x and y respectively.

To determine the scale factor of the dilation, we determine the distances between the endpoints of the two lines through the equation,
                            d = √(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²
 Substituting the known values.

Line Segment 1:     d = √(1 - 2)² + (4 - 8)²  = 4.123

Line Segment 2:     d = √(18 - 14)² + (12 - 1)² = 11.70

8x^2+5=22x Need help learning factoring please put work so I can understand
sp2606 [1]

Answer: (2x - 5) • (4x - 1)

STEP 1 : Equation at the end of step 1

(23x2 - 22x) + 5

STEP 2 : Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.1 Factoring 8x2-22x+5

The first term is, 8x2 its coefficient is 8 .

The middle term is, -22x its coefficient is -22 .

The last term, "the constant", is +5

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 8 • 5 = 40

Step-2 : Find two factors of 40 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -22 .

-40 + -1 = -41

-20 + -2 = -22 That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -20 and -2

8x2 - 20x - 2x - 5

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

4x • (2x-5)

Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

1 • (2x-5)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

(4x-1) • (2x-5)

Which is the desired factorization

Final result : (2x - 5) • (4x - 1)

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

An equilateral triangle is one with all three sides the same length. It begins with a given line segment which is the length of each side of the desired equilateral triangle. ... It is similar to the 60 degree angle construction, because the interior angles of an equilateral triangle are all 60 degrees.
