Answer:

b) $14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the cost of each CD and y be the cost of each DVD,

Since, 3 CDs and 5 DVDs cost $ 137,

⇒ 3x + 5y = 137 -------(1),

Also, 2 CDS and 7 DVDs cost $ 161,

⇒ 2x + 7y = 161 --------(2),

7 × equation (1) - 5 × equation (2)   ( ∵ we need the value of x so we have to eliminate y for this LCM(7,5) = 35 )

We get,

21x - 10x = 959 - 805

11x = 154

⇒ x = \frac{154}{11} = 14

Hence, the cost of each CD is $ 14,

Option 'b' is correct.

Solve -8/5 x - 6 = -54
Musya8 [376]
The equation is false so no solution.

Simplify 8/5 * -6 to -48/5

Move the negative sign to the left

Simplify brackets

Since 48/5 = -54 its false so no answer

Gina, Sam, and Robby all rented movies from the same video store. They each rented some dramas, comedies, and documentaries. Gin
weqwewe [10]
Solve using equations:

Gina 11 = a+b+c
Sam 27 = 2a+3b+2c
Robby 19= a+2b+2c

Gina *2 give 22=2a+2b+2c (subtract this from Sam to give)
b=5

the subtract Robby from Gina *2 to give a=3



[Question 1]
let d = number of dramas Gina rented, c = # of comedies, and t = # of documentaries:

[equation a] d + c + t = 11
[equation b] 2d + 3c + 2t = 27
[equation c] d + 2c + 2t = 19

if we subtract [a] from [c] we get:
[equation d] c + t = 8

if we subtract [c]*2 from [b] we get:
[equation e] -c - 2t = -11 or
[equation e] c + 2t = 11

Now we can subtract [e] from [d] to solve for t:
t = 3

Now put in 3 for t in [d] or [e] to solve for c:
c + 2(3) = 11
c + 6 = 11
c = 5

So she rented 5 comedies and 3 documentaries which leaves 3 dramas (which is answer A)

Aria drank 500 milliliters of water after her run. Her best friend, Andrea, drank 0.75 liter of water. Who drank more?
Paul [167]
To answer this item, let us convert first one of the given dimension such that both numbers will take only the same units for easier comparison. It should be noted that every liter (L) is consists of 1000 mL. 

Aria: (500 mL)(1 L/1000 mL) = 0.5 L
Andrea: 0.75 L

Since, 0.75 L is higher compared to 0.5L, the answer to the item is Andrea.
