Answer:
B = -.5
Step-by-step explanation:
If B is negative is cancels out the prexisting negative making it positive.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the better buy, we must find the cheaper unit price or price per gallon. To find the price per gallon, divide the cost by the number of gallons.
Mary
Mary bought 4 gallons for $11.
The price is $11 and the gallons are 4.
Jill
Jill bought 2.5 gallons for $7.25
The price is $7.25 and the gallons are 2.5
Better buy
Mary paid $2.75 per gallon and Jill paid $2.90 per gallon. 2.75 is less than 2.90, so Mary had the better buy.
The longer side is at first 7cm and the shorter is 2cm.
So since 7cm(the longer side)×5=35cm then the shorter side(2cm) multiplied by 5 should give you the right answer.
Answer:
24/25
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Define systems of equation
10x - 16y = 12
5x - 3y = 4
Step 2: Rewrite one of the equations
5x = 4 + 3y
x = 4/5 + 3y/5
Step 3: Solve for <em>y</em> using Substitution
- Substitute 2nd rewritten equation into 1: 10(4/5 + 3y/5) - 16y = 12
- Distribute the 10 to both terms: 40/5 + 30y/5 - 16y = 12
- Simplify the fractions down: 8 + 6y - 16y = 12
- Combine like terms (y): 8 - 10y = 12
- Subtract 8 on both sides: -10y = 4
- Divide both sides by -10: y = 4/-10
- Simply the fraction down: y = -2/5
Step 4: Substitute <em>y</em> back into an original equation to solve for <em>x</em>
- Substitute: 5x - 3(-2/5) = 4
- Multiply: 5x + 6/5 = 4
- Subtract 6/5 on both sides: 5x = 14/5
- Divide both sides by 5: x = 14/25
Step 5: Check to see if solution set (14/25, -2/5) is a solution.
- Substitute into an original equation: 10(14/25) - 16(-2/5) = 12
- Multiply each term: 28/5 + 32/5 = 12
- Add: 12 = 12
Here, we see that x = 14/25, y = -2/5 and solution (14/25, -2/5) indeed works.
Step 6: Find <em>x</em> <em>- y</em>
x = 14/25
y = -2/5
- Substitute: 14/25 - (-2/5)
- Simplify (change signs): 14/25 + 2/5
- Add: 24/25

Answer:
Lets denote
1. eggs as x,
2. edamame as y
3. elbow macaroni as z
The problem then is
min TC=2x+5y+3z
subject to
Step-by-step explanation:
First the objective is to minimize total cost subject to some nutritional requirements.
So the total cost function (TC) is the number of servings multiplied for the corresponding costs. Eggs cost 2, edamame 5, and macaroni 3
Next we have to meet the nutritional requirements, the first of the restrictions is the protein restriction. The problem requires that the meal contains at least 40g of carbohydrates (that is why the restriction is 
). Then we add how much each meal component adds to the total, eggs add 2g of carbs, edamame 12g, and macaroni 43g.
Same for protein, we need at least 20 grams of protein (
). Eggs add 17g, edamame adds 12g, and macaroni adds 8g.
Finally we don't want more than 50 grams of fat (
). Eggs add 14g, edamame add 6g and macaroni 1g.
Finally, we add the non negativity restrictions-> we cannot buy negative quantities of these goods, but we allow for zero.
