Problem 3: Let x = price of bag of pretzels Let y = price of box of granola bars
We have Lesley's purchase: 4x+2y=13.50
And Landon's: 1x+5y=17.55
We can use the elimination method. Let's negate Landon's purchase by multiplying by -1. -1x-5y=-17.55
We add this four times to Lesley's purchase to eliminate the x variable.
2y-20y=13.50-70.2
-18y=-56.7
y = $3.15 = Price of box of granola bars
Plug back into Landon's purchase to solve for pretzels.
x+5*3.15=17.55
x+15.75=17.55
x = $1.80 = price of bag of pretzels
Problem 4.
Let w = number of wood bats sold
Let m = number of metal bats sold
From sales information we have: w + m = 23
24w+30m=606
Substitution works well here. Solve for w in the first equation, w = 23 - m, and plug this into the second.
24*(23-m)+30m=606
552-24m+30m=606
6m=54
m=9 = number of metal bats sold
Therefore since w = 23-m, w = 23-9 = 14. 14 wooden bats were sold.
Answer:
Not necessarily. There are many ways to write a basic equation with a negative answer. For example, -3-4 = -7. Here 4 is a positive number but because you subtract 4 to 3 or take away 4 from 3 being a negative number and so you get a negative answer. Another example is 6+(-9). There are a couple of ways you can resolve this. My method is to subtract 9 from 6 which gives you 3 and simply add a negative sign.
Let me know if you'd like more examples. Hope this helps!! Sorry if it is confusing I can explain you in a more simpler way if you'd like.
Step-by-step explanation:
<span> a⁴(3a² - 2a + 1)
We just have to multiply each term inside the parentheses by a⁴ .
a⁴</span><span>(3a² ) = 3a⁶
a⁴</span><span>( - 2a ) = -2a⁵
a⁴</span><span>( 1) = a⁴
Now, just addum up : 3a⁶ - 2a⁵ + a⁴</span>
