What's the given quantity?
<span>d=drinks
p=pretzels
1st eq. 3d+3p=9.00
2nd eq. 4d+2p=8.50</span>
multiply
1st eq by 2
6d+6p=18.00
<span>multiply
2nd eq by 3
12d+6p=25.50
subtract
-6d=-7.50
d=1.25
3p=9.00-3d</span>
3p=9-3.75
<span>3p=5.25
p=1.75
price of a pretzel=$1.75</span>
<span> price of a drink = $1.25</span>
Answer:
speed of car A =Speed of car B=0.8 miles/minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that speed of car A is equal to speed of car B.
Also let car A travels x miles.
and car B travels y miles.
Car A reaches its destination in 17 minutes.
this means that speed of car A is given by:
miles/minutes ( since speed is defined as the ratio of distance and time).
Car B reaches its destination in 32 minutes.
This means that the speed of car B is given by:
miles/minutes
as speed of both cars are equal this means:
------(1)
Also we are given Car B travels 12 miles farther than Car A.
this means 
------(2)
on using equation (1) and (2) we have:

Hence the speed of car A is 0.8 miles/minutes ( since x/17 is the speed of car A)
Speed of car B=0.8 miles/minutes.
Distributive property means that you must multiply the number directly outside the parentheses to all the numbers inside the parentheses
