Answer:

The system of equations is :

6 p + 4 d = 34

12 p + 7 d = 66.25

The price of a drink is $1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the price of one bag of popcorn is $p and the price of a drink is $d

∵ Samuel spends a total of $34 on 6 bags of popcorn and

   4 drinks

- Multiply p by 6 and d by 4, then add the products and equate

    the sum by 34

∴ 6 p + 4 d = 34 ⇒ (1)

∵ Christopher spends a total of $66.25 on 12 bags of popcorn

    and 7 drinks

- Multiply p by 12 and d by 7, then add the products and equate

    the sum by 66.25

∴ 12 p + 7 d = 66.25 ⇒ (2)

The system of equations is :

6 p + 4 d = 34

12 p + 7 d = 66.25

Now let us solve it

Multiply equation (1) by -2 to make the coefficients of p in the two equations equal in values and opposite in signs to eliminate it

∵ -12 p - 8 d = - 68 ⇒ (3)

- Add equations (2) and (3)

∴ - d = - 1.75

- Divide both sides by -1

∴ d = 1.75

The price of a drink is $1.75

In a pre algebra class containing 40 students, there are 18 freshmen, 19 sophomores, and 3 juniors. What fraction of the class a
dezoksy [38]

\frac{9}{20} of the class consists of freshmen.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total number of students = 40

Number of freshmen = 18

Number of sophomores = 19

Number of juniors = 3

Fraction of freshmen = \frac{Number\ of\ freshmen}{Total\ number\ of students}

Fraction of freshmen = \frac{18}{40}

Fraction of freshmen = \frac{9}{20}

\frac{9}{20} of the class consists of freshmen.

The expression 2( 21x + 75 ) represents the monthly tuition and the one-time materials fee that Jamie pays for his two children
ss7ja [257]

Answer:  x represents the number of months, 150 represents one-time materials fee,  2( 21x + 75 ) represents total fees in x months and 42 represents rate of change.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, Here the expression 2( 21x + 75 ) represents the monthly tuition and the one-time materials fee that Jamie pays for his two children to join a science club.

Let, f(x) represents the monthly tuition fee

Therefore, f(x)= 2( 21x + 75 )

⇒f(x)= 42 x +150

Again according to the question, there is a one-time materials fee which must be free from the variable.

Therefore In f(x) , 150 must represent one time material fees.

And, x is variable, and here number of months is a variable.

Thus, x must be denote the number of months.

And, 42 must be denote the fees for 1 month.

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

U₂₁ and U₂₂ fits in the line of upper triangular

Step-by-step explanation:

As explain in the question

An upper triangular matric is square matrix with all zeros below its daignal. A lower triangular matrix is a square matrix with all zeros above its diagonal.

(as shown in the attached image)

(a)for all 3×3 upper triangular matirices U, verify that U2 is also upper triangular

for a matrices U (having a 3*3 matrix), assuming for example, U is given below:

U = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2&3\\0&5&6\\0&0&9\end{array}\right]

the element in the upper triangular are 1,2,3,5,6,9 (U₁₁, U₁₂, U₁₃; , U₂₂, U₂₃, U₂₂)

while lower triangular are 0,0,0, the element in the lower triangular are (U₂₁, U₃₁,U₃₂)

U₂₁ and U₂₂ fits in the line of upper triangular
