Maddi went to the store and bought 5 packs of gummy bears and 2 drinks for a total of $5.84. Stephen went to the same store and

bought 2 packs of gummy bears and 8 drinks for a total of $10.40. Write and solve a system of equations and use it to determine the cost of gummy bears and drinks.
(part 2) Aaron went to the same store and bought 2 packs of gummy bears, 4 drinks and picked up a gallon of milk. How much did he spend if the milk cost $4.07?

5x+2y = 5.84 is the equation for maddi.

2x+ 8y =10.40 is the equation for stephen.


set them equal and then cancel them out! if you do that you can plug it into the part 2 equation which is

2x+4y+z=4.07

Cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc what is 2x+9=35
creativ13 [48]
2x + 9 = 35

We subtract 9 in both sides:
2x + 9 - 9 = 35 - 9
2x = 26
We then divide 2 in both sides:
x = 13

the sum of 3 decimal numbers is 6. Exactly one of the numbers is less than 1 what could those numbers be.
kati45 [8]
There are infinitely many solutions to this problem (which is why it asks what could those numbers be), so you just have to make one up!

Start with the first sentence.
x + y + z = 6.0

Now one of those numbers has to be less than 1. I'll choose x. And I'll choose a random number, say, 0.7.

0.7 + y + z = 6.0

Now I'll subtract 0.7 from both sides to see what y and z have to add up to.

0.7 + y + z - 0.7 = 6.0 - 0.7
y + z = 5.3

Now I'll choose a random number for y that's less than 5.3.

2.6 + z = 5.3

And subtract 2.6 from both sides to find z.

2.6 + z - 2.6 = 5.3 - 2.6
z = 2.7

And now we have our numbers!
x = <u>0.7</u>
y = <u>2.6</u>
z = <u>2.7</u>

A parabola has a focus of F(2, -0.5) and a directrix of y=-1.5 P(x,y) represents any point on the parabola, while D(x, -1.5) rep
prohojiy [21]
The sketch of the parabola is attached below

We have the focus (a,b) = (2, -0.5)
The point P(x,y)
The directrix, c at y=-1.5

The steps to find the equation of the parabola are as follows

Step 1
Find the distance between the focus and the point P using Pythagoras. We have two coordinates; (2, -0.5) and (x,y).
We need the vertical and horizontal distances to find the hypotenuse (the diagram is shown in the second diagram).
The distance between the focus and point P is given by
\sqrt{ (x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2} }

Step 2
Find the distance between the point P to the directrix c. It is a vertical distance between y and c, expressed as y-c

Step 3
The equation of parabola is then given as 
\sqrt{ (x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2} }=y-c
(x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2}= (y-c)^{2} ⇒ substituting a, b and c
(x-2)^{2}+ (y--0.5)^{2}  = (y--1.5)^{2}
(x-2)^{2}+ (y+0.5)^{2}= (y+1.5)^{2}⇒Rearranging and making y the subject gives

y= \frac{ x^{2} }{2} -2x+1
