Answer: the price of a guppy is $3.19 and the price of a platy is $2.19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the price of a guppy.

Let y represent the price of a platy.

Marta brought 3 guppies and 2 platies for a total of $13.95. It means that

3x + 2y = 13.95 - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Hank also bought 3 guppies and 4 platies for a total of $18.33. It means that

3x + 4y = 18.33 - - - - - - - - - - - 2

Subtracting equation 2 from equation 1, it becomes

2y - 4y = 13.95 - 18.33

- 2y = - 4.38

y = - 4.38/ - 2

y = 2.19

Substituting y = 2.19 into equation 1, it becomes

3x + 2 × 2.19 = 13.95

3x + 4.38 = 13.95

3x = 13.95 - 4.38 = 9.57

x = 9.57/3 = 3.19

Tim and Cynthia leave Cynthia's house at the same time. Tim drives north and Cynthia drives west. Tim's average speed is 10 mph
RSB [31]

Answer:

  54.2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the drivers leave at the same time and travel in directions 90° from each other, their separation speed can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. Let c represent Cynthia's average speed. Then (c-10) will represent Tim's average speed. Their combined separation speed is 70 miles per hour, so we can write ...

  70² = c² +(c -10)²

  4900 = 2c² -20c +100 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  c² -10c -2400 = 0 . . . . . . . . divide by 2; put in standard form

  (c -5)² -2425 = 0 . . . . . . . . . rearrange to vertex form

  c = 5 ±5√97 . . . . . . . . . . . . solve for c, simplify radical

  c ≈ 54.244 ≈ 54.2 . . . . . . . use the positive solution

Cynthia's average speed was 54.2 miles per hour.
