Answer:

Each roll of streamers is $2.50 and each package of balloons is $1.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of rolls of streamers and y represent the number of packages of balloons.

3 rolls of streamers, 3x, and 2 packages of balloons, 2y, cost 10.00; this gives us

3x + 2y = 10

2 rolls of streamers, 2x, and 1 package of balloons, 1y, cost 6.25; this gives us

2x + 1y = 6.25

This gives us the system of equations

\left \{ {{3x+2y=10} \atop {2x+1y=6.25}} \right.

To solve this, we will use elimination.  First we will make the coefficient of y the same.  We will do this by multiplying the bottom equation by 2:

\left \{ {{3x+2y=10} \atop {2(2x+1y=6.25)}} \right. \\\\\left \{ {{3x+2y=10} \atop {4x+2y=12.50}} \right.

We will eliminate y by subtracting the bottom equation from the top:

\left \{ {{3x+2y=10} \atop {-(4x+2y=12.5)}} \right. \\\\-1x=-2.5

Divide both sides by -1:

-1x/-1 = -2.5/-1

x = 2.5

Each roll of streamers costs $2.50.

Substituting this back into the second equation, we have

2(2.5) + y = 6.25

5 + y = 6.25

Subtract 5 from each side:

5 + y - 5 = 6.25 - 5

y = 1.25

Each package of balloons costs $1.25.

Simply sixteen squared divided by four cubed
FinnZ [79.3K]
You mean "Simplify 16²÷4³?"
16²=16*16,  16= 4*4
4³=4*4*4
so:
Simplify: <u>16²</u>  = <u>16*16</u> =  <u>4*4*4*4</u> = <u>4</u> = 4
               4³  =  4*4*4 =    4*4*4     1

256 ÷ 64 = 4

Solar Impulse 2 is covered in 269.5 square meters of solar cells. Each cell is 150 square centimeters. How many solar cells are
Alik [6]
Area covered by the solar cells = 269.5 m^2

Area of one cell = 150 cm^2

Convert the area of one cell to m^2 by using the conversion factor 1m^2 = (100cm)^2 => 1 = 1m^2 / 1000 cm^2

=> 150 cm^2 * [1m^2 / 1000 cm^2] = 0.150 m^2

Now finf the number of times that 0.150 is contained in 269.5 by dividing 269.5 by 0.150

269.5 = 0.150 = 1,796.67

Which means that the number of cells is betwee 1796 and 1797.
