<u>Answer: </u>

Combine cost of 1 pound of turkey and 1 pound of ham is $10.5.    

<u>Solution: </u>

let’s assume cost of 1 pound of turkey in dollars = x

And assume cost of 1 pound of ham in dollars = y  

Given that 4 pounds of turkey and 2 pounds of ham costs $30.

Creating linear equation using above information we get

4x + 2y = 30    ------(1)

lets use second condition that is turkey cost $1.50 less per pound than ham to create other equation

=> cost of 1 pound of turkey  = cost of 1 pound of ham – 1.50  

=> x = y – 1.5  ------(2)

Now we have following two equations to proceed further

4x + 2y = 30     ------(1)

x = y – 1.5         ------(2)

Substituting value of x from eq (2) in eq(1) we get

4( y – 1.5 ) + 2y = 30  

=> 4y – 6 + 2y  = 30

=> 6y = 30 +6

=> y = 36/6 = 6

Substituting value of y in equation (2) to get value of x  

x = 6 – 1.5 = 4.5

Combine cost of 1 pound of turkey and 1 pound of ham = x + y      

= 4.5 + 6 = 10.5

Hence combine cost of 1 pound of turkey and 1 pound of ham is $10.5.

Solve for y. 2/3+y−1/9=7/9 Enter your answer in the box 
Novosadov [1.4K]
Adding 1/9 to both sides, we get 2/3+y=8/9. Next, 2/3 can be multiplied by 3/3 to get 6/9 due to that 3*3=9 and using the identity property. We then subtract 6/9 from both sides to get y=2/9

Solve for p: -9 + p &lt; 15 <br> A. p &gt; 24 B. -p &gt; 6 C. p &lt; 24 D. -p &lt; -6
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

C.  In the given expression -9 + p < 15 , the value of p <  24.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression is :

-9 + p < 15

Now, solving for the value of p.

If equals are added to both sides of inequality, the inequality remains unchanged.

Now, -9 + p < 15

⇒  -9 + p  + 9 < 15  + 9                                  (adding +9 on both sides)

or,  p <  24

Hence, in the given expression -9 + p < 15  the value of  p <  24.
