\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&amount&price&\textit{price per amount}\\
&-----&-----&--------\\
\textit{marshmallows}&x&1.80&(1.80)(x)\\
\textit{rice crispies}&y&3.20&(3.20)(y)\\
-----&-----&-----&--------\\
mixture&50&2.92&(50)(2.92)
\end{array}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\

\begin{cases}
x+y=50\implies \boxed{y}=50-x\\
1.80x+3.20y=(50)(2.92)\\
----------\\
1.80x+3.20\left( \boxed{50-x} \right)=(50)(2.92)
\end{cases}

solve for "x", to see how many lbs of marshmallows were needed

what about "y"?   well, y = 50 - x

A motorboat can maintain a constant speed of 44 miles per hour relative to the water. The boat makes a trip upstream to a certai
serg [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance upstream = (34-c)(39/60) miles

--------------------------

Distance downstream = (34+c)(29/60) miles

-----------------------------------------------

Equation:

distance = rate*time

distance up = distance down

(34-c)(39/60) = (34+c)(29/60)

Multiply both sides by 60 to get:

39(34-c) = 29(34+c)

39*34 - 39c = 29*34 + 29c

68c = 340

c = 5 mph speed of the current

The equation of a line is y-4=3(x+2),which of the following is a point on the line?
Greeley [361]
After you re-arrange the equation, you'll find out that you got y=3x+6....okay, this equation is a linear equation, you can use y=mx+b {where m=3, and b=6}. then to find the co-ordinate of (x,y) which is the point, substitute 1,2,3,4.... for x in 'y=3x+6' to figure out the co-ordinate of y.

answer: (1,14), (2,16), (3,19), (4,22)
