Answer:

Peanuts cost $2 a bag

Almonds cost $2.50 a bag

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, write a system of equations using the information given.

  • "a small case contains 10 bags of almonds and 25 bags of peanuts for $75" translates to 10a+25p=75
  • "a large case comtains 40 bags of almonds and 60 bags of peanuts for $220" translates to 40a+60p=220

Solve by stacking the equations and performing elimination. To eliminate a variable, the coefficients must be the same. To make this so, we will multiply 10a+25p=75 by 4 to become 40a+100p=300. Now stack the equations and subtract:

40a+100p=300

40a+60p=220

----------------------------

0a + 40p=80

p=2 means peanuts cost $2 a bag.

Substitute p=2 into one equation to find a.

10a+25(2)=75

10a+50=75

10a=25

a=2.5 means almonds cost $2.50 a bag.

Sierra is going on a field trip that costs $48. The cost includes $20 for transportation and two tickets that each cost the same
True [87]
We know that there are two tickets (which we'll represent with x) and a fee for transporation (which is $20)

So we can set up the equation 20+2x=48

We want to isolate x so we'll subtract 20 from each side, which gives us the equation
2x=28

Then divide each side by 2
Giving us the final answer of

x=14

So each ticket costs $14

Factor the GCF: −12x4y − 9x3y2 + 3x2y3
monitta
Factor the coefficients:
-12=(-1)(3)(2^2)
-9=(-1)(3^2)
3=3

The greatest common factor (GCF) is 3

Next we find the GCF for the variable x.
x^4
x^3
x^2
The GCF is x^2.

Next GCF for variable y.
y
y^2
y^3
the GCF is y

Therefore the GCF is 3x^2y
To factor this out, we need to divide each term by the GCF,
(3x^2y)(−12x4y/(3x^2y) − 9x3y2/(3x^2y) + 3x2y3/(3x^2y) )
=(3x^2y)(-4x^2-3xy+y^2)     
if we wish, we can factor further:
(3x^2y)(y-4x)(x+y)
