Answer:

cost of a bag of hot Cheetos = 0.75 and cost of a pack of sour patch kids = 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of a bag of hot cheetos be c

Let the cost of a pack of sour patch kids be k

Thus, for Jasmine, the equation will be;

3c + 2k = 5.25 - - - - (eq1)

For Michael, the equation will be;

7c + 3k = 9.75 - - - - - (eq2)

We will use method of elimination to solve this.

Multiply (eq 1) by 3 and (eq 2) by 2 to give;

9c + 6k = 15.75 - - (eq4)

14c + 6k = 19.5 - - -(eq5)

Subtract (eq4) from (eq 5) to get;

5c = 19.5 - 15.75

5c = 3.75

c = 3.75/5

c = 0.75

Put 0.75 for c in (eq 4) to get;

9(0.75) + 6k = 15.75

6.75 + 6k = 15.75

6k = 15.75 - 6.75

6k = 9

k = 9/6

k = 1.5

Thus; cost of a bag of hot Cheetos = 0.75 and cost of a pack of sour patch kids = 1.5

-3 +3(n+8)= 2(1 + 6n) - 8
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

3 =n

Step-by-step explanation:

-3 +3(n+8)= 2(1 + 6n) - 8

Distribute

-3 +3n +24 = 2 +12n -8

Combine like terms

21+3n = 12n -6

Subtract 3n from each side

21+3n-3n = 12n-3n -6

21 = 9n -6

Add 6 to each side

21+6 = 9n-6+6

27 = 9n

Divide each side by 9

27/9 = 9n/9

27/9 =n

Divide the top and bottom by 3

3 =n

Find the length x.<br> 5<br> X<br> 45<br> PLS THIS IS ERGENT
Annette [7]

Answer:

X = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, divide 5 by 3 to find the scale factor:

5/3 = 1.667

Now, multiply 4.5 by 1.667 to find x:

x = (4.5)(1.667)

x = 7.5

Therefore, x is equal to 7.5.
