These kittens get 1 can of cat food a day. If each can holds 6 ounces of food, how many ounces of food do they eat in one week?

Paladinen [302]

If 6=1 then 6x7= 42 so 42 oz of food per week

The state of Maine encourages recycling by giving refunds for certain recycled items. When you recycle a glass bottle, you get b

Klio2033 [76]

Given that cost of 1 drinks in a glass bottle = $2.00

Given that cost of 1 drinks in an aluminum can = $0.50

Given that cost of 1 drinks in a plastic bottle = $1.50

Then sum of costs of 1 drink from each will be = 2.00+0.50+1.50

Given that you buy two of each then total cost will be given by 2(2.00+0.50+1.50)

Hence expression that represents the amount of money you will spend is 2(2.00+0.50+1.50).

Using distributive property, we can rewrite it as:

2(2.00+0.50+1.50)=2*2.00+2*0.50+2*1.50

This is final answer of part A.

----------

Given that refund on 1 drinks in a glass bottle = $0.05

Given that refund on 1 drinks in an aluminum can = $0.10

Given that refund on 1 drinks in a plastic bottle = $0.15

Then sum of refunds on 1 drink from each will be = 0.05+0.10+0.15

Given that you plan to recycle all of the items you purchased then total refund will be given by 2(0.05+0.10+0.15)

Hence expression to represent the amount of refund you will receive is 2(0.05+0.10+0.15).

Using distributive property, we can rewrite it as:

2(0.05+0.10+0.15)=2*0.05+2*0.10+2*0.15

This is final answer of part B.

----------

Net cost is given by difference of total cost and total refund

Net cost = 2(2.00+0.50+1.50) - 2(0.05+0.10+0.15)

= 2*2.00+2*0.50+2*1.50 - (2*0.05+2*0.10+2*0.15)

= 4+1+3 - (0.10+0.20+0.30)

= 8 - 0.60

= 7.40

Hence net cost is $7.40

Pls solve the simultaneous equation in the attachment.

siniylev [52]

Answer:

Part a) The solution is the ordered pair (6,10)

Part b) The solutions are the ordered pairs (7,3) and (15,1.4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) we have

$\frac{x}{2}-\frac{y}{5}=1$ ----> equation A

$y-\frac{x}{3}=8$ ----> equation B

Multiply equation A by 10 both sides to remove the fractions

$5x-2y=10$ ----> equation C

isolate the variable y in equation B

$y=\frac{x}{3}+8$ ----> equation D

we have the system of equations

$5x-2y=10$ ----> equation C

$y=\frac{x}{3}+8$ ----> equation D

Solve the system by substitution

substitute equation D in equation C

$5x-2(\frac{x}{3}+8)=10$

solve for x

$5x-\frac{2x}{3}-16=10$

Multiply by 3 both sides

$15x-2x-48=30$

$15x-2x=48+30$

Combine like terms

$13x=78$

$x=6$

<em>Find the value of y</em>

$y=\frac{x}{3}+8$

$y=\frac{6}{3}+8$

$y=10$

The solution is the ordered pair (6,10)

Part b) we have

$xy=21$ ---> equation A

$x+5y=22$ ----> equation B

isolate the variable x in the equation B

$x=22-5y$ ----> equation C

substitute equation C in equation A

$(22-5y)y=21$

solve for y

$22y-5y^2=21$

$5y^2-22y+21=0$

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing

The solutions are y=1.4, y=3

see the attached figure

<em>Find the values of x</em>

For y=1.4

$x=22-5(1.4)=15$

For y=3

$x=22-5(3)=7$

therefore

The solutions are the ordered pairs (7,3) and (15,1.4)

1.A clown made 3 times as many balloon hats as balloon dogs. He made 4 more balloon dogs than balloon swords.Write an algebraic

Dima020 [189]

Let x=balloon swords
let x+4=balloon dogs (four more than x is x+4)
let x+7=balloon hats (three more than x+4 is x+7)
the answer is x+7

I don't know how to correctly explain the second answer (although I do know that it is 1)
