Answer:
- Walnuts cost $1.75, chocolate chips cost $2.75
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Let the costs be:</h3>
- Walnuts - x
- Chocolate chips - y
<h3>Set equations as per question</h3>
For 7 pounds of walnuts and 9 pounds of chocolate chips, the total cost is $37:
For 5 pounds of walnuts and 3 pounds of chocolate chips, the total cost is $17:
<h3>Solve the system by elimination</h3>
Multiply the second equation by 3 and subtract the first equation, solve for x:
- 3(5x + 3y) - (7x + 9y) = 3(17) - 37
- 15x + 9y - 7x - 9y = 51 - 37
- 8x = 14
- x = 14/8
- x = 1.75
Find the value of y:
- 7*1.75 + 9y = 37
- 12.25 + 9y = 37
- 9y = 37 - 12.25
- 9y = 24.75
- y = 24.75/9
- y = 2.75
You're asking for the square root of 32. you can actually do this on a calculator really easily. just type in the number (in this case, 32) and press the square root symbol (looks like a calculator). the square root of 32 is a long string of decimals, but it's approximately 5.7 :) good luck
Answer:
6x + y = 1
y = 1 - 6x
7x + 2(1 - 6x) = -3 substitute 1 - 6x in for y
7x + 2 - 12x = -3 combine like terms
2 - 5x = -3 subtract 2 from both sides
-5x = -5 divide by -5
x = 1
