\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

Answer:

D) -2.14< root10 <|-2.8|

Step-by-step explanation:

the value for -2.14 is as plain as you can see, the negative version of 2.14.

The square root of 10 is 3.16227766.

The lines next to -2.8 is asking for the absolute value of -2.8, or the distance between that number and zero. The distance between -2.8 and 0 is positive 2.8, because distance can't be negative.

The 3 numbers taken from the explanations are -2.14, 3.16, and 2.8. Ranking them from least to greatest would give you -2.14, 2.8, 3.16, or -2.14< root10 <|-2.8|

If two straight lines intersect and one angle is 30 degrees what are the other three angles
mel-nik [20]
Easey peasy
oposite angle is equal
other angles are supplementary (supplementary means add to 180, and a straight line=180 so if you look at 2 lines intersecting and think for a little bit, you wiill see why)

oposite angle=30
other angle is adds to 180
30+other=180
subtract 30
other=150
other is oposite other other
other=other other
150=other other

angles are
150,30,150
