Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The first equation has to be the ratio of raisins to sunflower seeds. If r is raisins and p is sunflower seeds and there are 3 times as many raisins as sunflower seeds then the first equation must be 3r=p
The second equation should model the prices properly. Raisins are 1.5 per pound and sunflower seeds are 4 per pound, because of this we should have 1.5r (r being each pound of raisins) and 4p (p being each pound of sunflower seeds). From this we know the second equation must be 4p+1.5r=34
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Taking equation (1)
Multiplying both sides by 2
Adding 6y to both sides
Putting this in (2)
5(18+6y) + y = 28
5(18+6y) + y = 28
90 + 30y+y = 28
31y+90-28 = 0
31 y + 62 = 0
31y = -62
Dividing both sides by 31
y = -2
Now,
x = 18 + 6y
x = 18+6(-2)
x = 18-12
x = 6
Answer:
6. A
Step-by-step explanation:
X=205
y=41
You come across these answers by making an equation or system of equations based on the word problem given. 1. x+y=246 and 2. x÷y=5 . The you would multiply by y on both sides and get x=5y . Then you would substitute for x in the first equation and get (5y)+y=246 . Then you would get 6y=246 . Them you would divide by 6 on both sides and get y=246÷6 . Then you would get y=41. Then you would plug the y value into the first equation. You would get that x+(41)= 246, subtract on both sides and get x=246-41, then you would get an answer of x=205.
