Let
x-------> bags of <span>popcorn
</span>y-------> bags of hotdogs

we know that
2.50x+3y=200-------> equation 1
x=2y--------> equation 2

substitute 2 in 1

2.50*[2y]+3y=200--------> 5y+3y=200------> 8y=200-----> y=200/8
y=25
x=2y-----> x=2*25-----> x=50

the answer is
50 bags of popcorn
25 bags of hotdogs<span />

A wire 15 cm long is cut into two pieces. The longer piece is 3.cmidonger than the shorter piece.Find the length of the shorter
Andre45 [30]

A piece of wire is cut into two pieces. That means each part would be assigned an unknown variable. Let one part be x and the other part be y.

That means,

x+y=15\operatorname{cm}

If the longer part is x, and the longer part is 3cm longer than the shorter part, then we would have the following;

\begin{gathered} x+y=15 \\ x=y+3 \\ \text{This is because x is 3cm longer,} \\ So\text{ the length of x would be y+3} \end{gathered}

We can now refine the equation as follow;

\begin{gathered} \text{Where;} \\ x=y+3 \\ x+y=15 \\ y+3+y=15 \\ 2y+3=15 \\ \text{Subtract 3 from both sides;} \\ 2y+3-3=15-3 \\ 2y=12 \\ \text{Divide both sides by 2;} \\ \frac{2y}{2}=\frac{12}{2} \\ y=6 \\ \text{When;} \\ x+y=15 \\ x+6=15 \\ \text{Subtract 6 from both sides;} \\ x+6-6=15-6 \\ x=9 \end{gathered}

ANSWER:

The length of the shorter piece of wire is 6cm
