Answer:

y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y + (4 - 2y) = 2 ← remove parenthesis on left side

y + 4 - 2y = 2, that is

- y + 4 = 2 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

- y = - 2 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

y = 2

Jasmine purchased 3 bags of hot cheetos and 2 packs of sour patch kids from the vending machine and spent 5.25. Michael also loa

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

cost of a bag of hot Cheetos = 0.75 and cost of a pack of sour patch kids = 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of a bag of hot cheetos be c

Let the cost of a pack of sour patch kids be k

Thus, for Jasmine, the equation will be;

3c + 2k = 5.25 - - - - (eq1)

For Michael, the equation will be;

7c + 3k = 9.75 - - - - - (eq2)

We will use method of elimination to solve this.

Multiply (eq 1) by 3 and (eq 2) by 2 to give;

9c + 6k = 15.75 - - (eq4)

14c + 6k = 19.5 - - -(eq5)

Subtract (eq4) from (eq 5) to get;

5c = 19.5 - 15.75

5c = 3.75

c = 3.75/5

c = 0.75

Put 0.75 for c in (eq 4) to get;

9(0.75) + 6k = 15.75

6.75 + 6k = 15.75

6k = 15.75 - 6.75

6k = 9

k = 9/6

k = 1.5

Thus; cost of a bag of hot Cheetos = 0.75 and cost of a pack of sour patch kids = 1.5

A flower takes 8 minutes to grow 5.2 inches. How many inches will the flower grow in 17 minutes?

svp [43]

11.05 inches.

EXPLANATION:

Firstly, lets see the unit rate for how many inches per minute.

5.2 divided by 8 is 0.65 inches every minute.

Now since there is 17 mins, simply do 0.65 inches per min x 17 mins.

11.05 inches.

Hope this helps!

Could someone answer and explain these please? Thank you!

Answer 1:

It is given that the positive 2 digit number is 'x' with tens digit 't' and units digit 'u'.

So the two digit number x is expressed as,

$x=(10 \times t)+(1 \times u)$

$x=10t+u$

The two digit number 'y' is obtained by reversing the digits of x.

So, $y=(10 \times u)+(1 \times t)$

$y=10u+t$

Now, the value of x-y is expressed as:

$x-y=(10t+u)-(10u+t)$

$x-y=10t+u-10u-t$

$x-y=9t-9u$

$x-y=9(t-u)$

So, $9(t-u)$ is equivalent to (x-y).

Answer 2:

It is given that the sum of infinite geometric series with first term 'a' and common ratio r<1 = $\frac{a}{1-r}$

Since, the sum of the given infinite geometric series = 200

Therefore, $\frac{a}{1-r}=200$

Since, r=0.15 (given)

$\frac{a}{1-0.15}=200$

$\frac{a}{0.85}=200$

$a=0.85 \times 200$

a=170

The nth term of geometric series is given by $ar^{n-1}$ .

So, second term of the series = $ar^{2-1}$ = ar

Second term = $170 \times 0.15$

= 25.5

So, the second term of the geometric series is 25.5
