Answer: Hello there!

Let's define G has the number of packs of green apple, S as the number of packs of spearmint, and C as the number of packs of cinnamon.

Now we want to know the number of spearmint gum packs that Janice buys:

We know that:

G + S + C = 74

G = 2S

G - C = 6

Now we have a system of 3 equations and 3 variables, let's solve it.

In the second equation we can remove G of the equations, and replace it in the first and third equation:

G + S + C = 74

2S + S + C = 74

3S + C = 74

and

G - C = 6

2S - C = 6

Now we only have two equations, lets isolate C in the second equation

2S - C = 6

C = 2S - 6

now we can replace it in the first equation, and solve it for S

3S + C = 74

3S + 2S - 6 = 74

5S = 74 + 6 = 80

S = 80/5 = 16

She buy's 16 packs of spearmint gum.

Answer:

A) 16

Step-by-step explanation:

g= green apple

c= cinnamon

s= spearmint

74=g+c+s

g=2s

g-6=c

so we can replace c in the equation

74=g+g-6+s (because c=g-6)

we can also replace g in the equation

2s+2s-6+s=74 (because g=2s)

so, 5s-6=74 (add 6 to both sides)

5s=80 (divide by 5)

s=16

Convert the polar equation to rectangular coordinates. (Use variables x and y as needed.)
Alinara [238K]
The standard conversion toolbox:
x=rcos(θ)
y=rsin(θ)

Here r=7csc(θ)
so 
x=7csc(θ)*cos(θ)=7cos(θ)/sin(θ)=7cot(<span>θ)
y=7csc(</span>θ)*sin(θ)=7sin(θ)/sin(<span>θ) = 7
therefore the rectangular coordinates are (7cot(</span><span>θ), 7)</span>

Ierofanga [76]
1: 4.5 ft by 6 ft
2: 27 sq. ft.



First, just multiply 3 and 4 by 1.5 to convert inches to feet using the scale. You end up with 3*1.5 and 4*1.5, which equals 4.5 and 6. So the dimensions are 4.5 feet by 6 feet.

Now, just multiply 4.5 by 6 to get 27 square feet.

A meuseum had x visitors on friday. On Saturday it had 150 more visitors than it did on friday. The total number of visitors on
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

75 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Friday is x, then Saturday is 150 + x. The number of people on Sunday then is (Friday + Saturday)/2, thus (x + (150 + x))/2. This then simplifies to (x + 150 + x)/2 ---> (2x + 150)/2 ---> 2x/2 + 150/2 ---> x + 75. So, Friday is x and Sunday is x + 75, to find out how many more visitors the museum have on Sunday than Friday, you subtract the two numbers. (x + 75) - x = 75.
