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.

The sum of two polynomials is 10a^2b^2-8a^2b+6ab^2-4ab+2 if one addend is -5a^2b^2+12a^2b-5 what is the other addend
spayn [35]

Answer:

The other addend is 15\cdot a^{2}\cdot b^{2}-20\cdot a^{2}\cdot b + 6\cdot a \cdot b^{2}-4\cdot a \cdot b +7.

Step-by-step explanation:

The other addend is determined by subtracting -5\cdot a^{2}\cdot b^{2}+12\cdot a^{2}\cdot b-5 from 10\cdot a^{2}\cdot b^{2}-8\cdot a^{2}\cdot b + 6\cdot a\cdot b^{2}-4\cdot a \cdot b + 2:

x = 10\cdot a^{2}\cdot b^{2}-8\cdot a^{2}\cdot b + 6\cdot a \cdot b^{2}-4\cdot a \cdot b + 2 - (-5\cdot a^{2}\cdot b^{2}+12\cdot a^{2}\cdot b -5)

x = 10\cdot a^{2}\cdot b^{2}-8\cdot a^{2}\cdot b + 6\cdot a \cdot b^{2}-4\cdot a \cdot b +2 +5\cdot a^{2}\cdot b^{2}-12\cdot a^{2}\cdot b+5

x = (10\cdot a^{2}\cdot b^{2}+5\cdot a^{2}\cdot b^{2})-(8\cdot a^{2}\cdot b+12\cdot a^{2}\cdot b)+6\cdot a \cdot b^{2}-4\cdot a \cdot b +7

x = 15\cdot a^{2}\cdot b^{2}-20\cdot a^{2}\cdot b + 6\cdot a \cdot b^{2}-4\cdot a \cdot b +7

The other addend is 15\cdot a^{2}\cdot b^{2}-20\cdot a^{2}\cdot b + 6\cdot a \cdot b^{2}-4\cdot a \cdot b +7.

A line passes through (2, 4) and (-2, 2). Find the value of y if (6, y) lies on the line. Not sure how the 3 was brought into th
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Well, that is simple. You first must find the slope of the line from the 2 given points by using the slope formula. Which is y2-y1/x2-x1. So 2-4/-2-2 which equals -2/-4 which is 1/2. So the slope is 1/2. Now we can use the slope intercept form which is y=mx+b to find the slope equation. So we plug in one the points, say (2,4) and get y=1/2x+3. So now we plug in (6,y) Since we know x we can find y. y=1/2(6)+3 which gives us y=6. So y is 6.

2:x and 12:18 a-3, b-4, c-6
nirvana33 [79]

The Corrected Problem is :

2:x and 12:18 identify the value of x that makes each pair of ratios equivalent .

Solution:

If a pair of Ratios are equivalent then we can write

\frac{2}{x}=\frac{12}{18}\\ \\ \text{Simplify we get}\\ \\ 12x=36\\ \\ \text{Divide both the sides by 12 we get}\ \\ \\ \frac{12x}{12}=\frac{36}{12}\\ \\  x=3\\ \\ \text{Hence the required value of x is 3}\\
