For Billy’s birthday party his mother has baked 80 cookies. 40 cookies contain vanilla and 45 contains nuts, and 15 contain both

. One of Billy’s friends, Jim, is allergic to both nuts and vanilla, but he loves cookies! What is the largest number of cookies that Jim can eat on Billy’s birthday? (Note that it is fine for Jim to smell nuts and vanilla as long as he is not eating anything that contains them.)

In this item, we are to determine the number of cookies that contains only vanilla or nuts. To do so, we have to subtract from the number of cookies containing vanilla or nuts, the number of cookies that contains both. 
                 
                 cookies with vanilla only = 40 - 15 = 25
                  cookies with nuts only = 45 - 15 = 30

cookies with either vanilla or nuts or both = 25 + 30 + 15 = 70

cookies without vanilla or nuts = 80 - 70 = 10

Therefore, the greatest number of cookies that Jim can eat is 10.

Algebra 1 help please!
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

x=46 and y=45

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you must set up a system of equations. The first sentence says that there are two numbers and that their sum is 91, so your first equation is x+y=91. For the next equation, it says that the difference of those same numbers is 1, which means that the equation is x-y=1. Now, putting those two together for the system of equations, it's easiest to add them. The result will be 2x=92 which when simplified gives you the value of x. Taking the value of x, you can substitute in the second equation to find the value of y.

Hope this helped!

Chris drove his car to the movie theater. The graph below represents Chris's speed over time, from when he left his house to whe
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Stopping at a stoplight means that Chris's speed would be zero on the graph. The times that his speed is zero are times t = 0, t = 2 min, t = 11 min, and t = 21 min. Because the graph shows his speed from the time he left his house (at t = 0) to the time he arrived at the theater (at t = 21 min), the most likely times he stopped at stoplights are times t = 2 min and t = 11 min.
