Answer:

Jelly Bean price per pound = $3.25, Trail Mix price per pound = $1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let jb = price per pound of jelly beans

Let tm = price per pound of trail mix

equation 1 -> 6*jb + 2*tm = 22

equation 2 -> 3*jb + 5*tm = 16

simplify equation 1

6*jb + 2tm = 22

2*tm = 22 - 6*jb

divide by 2

tm = 11 - 3*jb

plug this into equation 2

3*jb + 5*tm = 16

3*jb + 5*(11-3*jb) = 16

3*jb + 55 - 15*jb = 16

-12*jb + 55 = 16

-12*jb = 16 - 55

-12*jb = -39

jb = -39/-12

jb = 3.25

then, plug the cost per pound of jelly beans back into the simplified equation 1

tm = 11 - 3*jb

tm = 11 - 3*3.25

tm = 1.25

borishaifa [10]

So think of it like this she starts off $32 negative and subtract 3 from each box of cards she makes . So each box of cards she will make $8 that being said

32/8 =4 (it will take 4 box of cards to pay off her booth expense).

Sales would be 11x 4 =44

Expenditures would be 3x4 =32 (the amount used to make cards ) +32(the amount paid for the booth)

Which in total would be $64

ivann1987 [24]
Are you sure it is correct because for each one your just doubling the number. 2+2=4. 4+4=8. 8+8=16. I think its suppose to be 16+16= 32 and so on, but I may be wrong

I need help. how do i write 4=(-8)+3x as a decimal
Vanyuwa [196]
This is an equation, you can't write equations as decimals. I think you're asking for x (as a decimal)?

Add 8 to each side: 4+8= 8+(-8)+3x
12=3x
x=4
This is a whole number so it's already in decimal form

ziro4ka [17]
X = 2y
2x + 2y = 24
So if x = 2y that means 2x = 4y. Which means that 2x + 2y = 24 can be written as 4y + 2y = 24. Simplified to 6y = 24. Now we need to get 1y so we divide both sides by 6, 6y/6 = y and 24/6 = 4. so y = 4. so x= 2y can be written as x = 8.
