<h3>Answer: $4.46</h3>

===================================================

Work Shown:

3 containers = 6.69 dollars

3/3 containers = 6.69/3 dollars .... divide both sides by 3

1 container = 2.23 dollars

2*(1 container) = 2*(2.23 dollars) ... multiply both sides by 2

2 containers = 4.46 dollars

A shortcut is to start with "3 containers = 6.69 dollars" and multiply both sides by 2/3

Each mention of "container" refers to a half-gallon container.

About 70,000 people live in a 6-mile radius of a city's town hall. Find the population density in people per square mile. Round

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

The population density is 618.93 per square mile.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

No. of people, N = 70,000

The radius of a city's town hall, r = 6 miles

We need to find the population density. It can be calculated by the formula i.e. number of people divided by area of land such that,

$P=\dfrac{N}{A}\\\\P=\dfrac{N}{\pi r^2}\\\\P=\dfrac{70000}{\pi (6)^2}\\\\P=618.93\ \text{per square mile}$

So, the population density is 618.93 per square mile.

Solve this system of linear equations. Separate the x- and y-values with a comma.

vodomira [7]

Answer:

x = $\frac{5}{2}$ , y = $\frac{5}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Isolate for x in one of the equations:

2x = 9x - 14y

2x-9x = 9x-9x -14y

-7x = -14y

-7x/-7 = -14y/-7

x = 2y

2. Substitute 2y in for x in the second equation:

9(2y) = 40 - 14y

3. Simplify:

18y = 40 - 14y

4. Isolate for y:

18y+14y = 40 -14y+14y

32y = 40

32y/32 = 40/32

y = $\frac{5}{4}$

5. Substitute the new y-value into the simplified expression x = 2y:

x = 2(5/4)

x = $\frac{5}{2}$

hope this helps!

The amount of money Mr. Brust made this summer was equal to the $55 he started with and the $15 for every lawn he mowed while st

earnstyle [38]

Let's start by declaring our varibles.

x = number of lawns Mr. Brust mowed

y = total amount of money Mr. Brust made

Let's create our equation.

y = 15x + 55

For part b, we can plug 800 in for y.

800 = 15x + 55

Subtract 55 from both sides.

745 = 15x

Divide both sides by 15

50 = x. Note, I rounded the answer to the nearest integer.

For part c, we can plug 13 in for x.

y = 15(13) + 55

Simplify the right side of the equation.

y = 250
