Answer:

x = 5 , y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this using substitution.

Let the quantity of cheese wafers be denoted by x and the quantity of chocolate wafers denoted by y

2x + 1y = 25

x + y = 20

These two equations are the answer to part A, (remember to include the above prompt which says what x and y denote).

For part B I used substitution because it was more applicable to the question then addition or elimination.

ACTUAL WORK

Set 2x + 1y = 25 equal to x

x = 25 - y / 2

Replace x with y in the second equation

(25 - y / 2) + y = 20

And solve for y

y = 15

Since we know what y is we can replace y in the second equation and find what x is

x + 15 = 20

Solve for x

x = 5

Z^2 -6z+9=0 Factor and solve
Ymorist [56]
Factor because if we have
yz=0 then we can assume y and/or z=0

so factor
so the easiest way is to find what 2 numbers add to -6 and multiply to get 9 so
we know that they must be both - because we must have x+x=(-) and x^2=+ so therefor they must be negative
factors of 9=3 and 3 so
-3 and -3
-3+-3=-6 perfect

(z-3)(z-3)=0

set each to zero
z-3=0
add 3
z=3


z=3 is the answer

Rachel purchased a prepaid phone card for $30. Long distance calls cost 6 cents a minute using this card. Rachel used her card o
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer: her call lasted for 26 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of minutes for which her call lasted.

Rachel purchased a prepaid phone card for $30. Long distance calls cost 6 cents a minute using this card. Converting 6 cents to dollars, it becomes 6/100 = $0.06

This means that the cost of x minutes of long distance call is

0.06 × x = $0.06x.

If the remaining credit on her card is $28.44, it means that

0.06x + 28.44 = 30

0.06x = 30 - 28.44

0.06x = 1.56

x = 1.56/0.06

x = 26
