Let s, m, L represent the number of small, medium, and Large cups of coffee Kyle filled.
  s +m +L = 35 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . served 35 cups
  10s +14m +20L = 544 . . . . . . . . using 544 ounces of coffee
  .95s +1.15m +1.50L = 43.60 . . . while collecting $43.60

Solving these 3 linear equations in 3 unknowns by your favorite method, you find
  Kyle filled 6 small cups (10 oz)
  Kyle filled 16 medium cups (14 oz)
  Kyle filled 13 Large cups (20 oz)

_____
Elimination is a reasonable way to start. Subtract 10 times the first equation from the second, and 0.95 times the first equation from the third. Then you have
  4m +10L = 194
  .2m +.55L = 10.35
Now, you can subtract .05 times the first of these equation from the last to get
  .05L = .65
  L = 13
Back-substituting gets you the values of the other variables.

What is the average rate of change from x= -1 to x = 1 ?

The average rate of change on an interval is ...

  average rate of change = (amount of change)/(width of interval)

  = (-3 -1)/(1 -(-1)) = -4/2 = -2

The average rate of change between (-1, 1) and (1, -3) is -2.

Last week, Leon bought 8 pizzas and 13 cakes
romanna [79]
P = pizza and c =cakes

Last week: 8p + 13c = 134
Today: 28p + 4c = 220

Let’s take the formula for today and subtract 28p from each side to isolate the 4c.

4c = 220 - 28p

Now divide each side by 4

c = (220 - 28p)/4
Simplify to c = 55 - 7p

Now go to the formula for last week, substitute the c for 55-7p

8p + 13(55 - 7p) = 134
8p + 715 - 91p = 134

Simplify to 715 - 83p = 134

Let’s add 83p to each side.

715 = 134 + 83p

Subtract 134 from each side

581 = 83p

Divide each side by 83

p = $7

Volunteers helped clean up 8.2 kg of trash in one neighborhood and 11 1/2 kg in another. They sent 1 1/4 kg to be recycled and t
Ivan

Answer: 18.45\ kg or 18\frac{9}{20}\ kg

Step-by-step explanation:

We can convert from mixed numbers to decimal numbers:

11\frac{1}{2}\ kg=(11+0.5)\ kg=11.5\ kg\\\\1\frac{1}{4}\ kg=(1+0.25)\ kg=1.25\ kg

Since they cleaned up 8.2 kilograms of trash in one neighborhood and 11.5 kilograms in another neighborhood, the total trash they cleaned up was:

Total=8.2\ kg+11.5\ kg\\\\Total=19.7\ kg

We know that they sent 1.25 kilograms to be recycled. Then, in order to calculate how many kilograms of trash they threw away, we must subtract the total kilograms of trash they cleaned up and the kilograms they sent to be recycled.

Then:

19.7\ kg-1.25\ kg=18.45\ kg or 18\frac{9}{20}\ kg
