24w+6c=$23.40

5w+2c=$6.60

So you have to find c (chips) first. You have to make the number of chips in both equations cancel each other.

-3(5w+2c)=-3($6.60)
-15w-6c=$-19.80

Then subtract to get one formula
24w + 6c = $23.40
-15w - 6c = $-19.80

9w = $3.60
w=$.40

To check your answer, find how much one bag of chips costs:
5($.40) + 2c = $6.60
$2.00 + 2c = $6.60
2c = $4.60
c=$2.30

Plug your value for one water and one bag of chips into the formula:
5($.40) + 2($2.30)
$2.00 + $4.60
=$6.60

Then plug your values into the original problem:
24($.40) + 6($2.30)
$9.60 + $13.80
=$23.40

Find y (please someone answer)

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Y=√2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the pathagorian theorum: A²+B²=C² now in this case it would be X²+Y²=2² we also know that X and Y are the same number in this problem because they have the same corresponding angle (triangle angles always add to 180 and since we know 2 of the angles are 45 and 90 the remaining angle will also be 45) Because of this we can change our equation to Z²+Z²=2² (I'm using Z so that we do not confuse it with another letter we've already used) from there we can go to Z∧4=2² and then we will solve the equation. Z=√2 Z also equals X and Y therefore Y=√2

I hope this helps and please let me know if there is anything you don't understand I would be happy to clarify!

100 POINTS HELP ASAP Linear Combination

notka56 [123]

Answer:

1) $x=\dfrac12$

2) $n = -3 \ \ \textsf{and} \ \ m = -4$

3) see below

4) A: 0 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Question 1</u>

$15-0.5(4x-2)+4x=17$

$\implies 15-2x+1+4x=17$

$\implies 2x+16=17$

$\implies 2x=1$

$\implies x=\dfrac12$

<u>Question 2</u>

$\textsf{rearrange} \ n=m+1 :$

$\implies -m=-n+1$

$\textsf{add equations} \ -m=-n+1 \ \textsf{and} \ m=2n+2:\\$

$\implies0=n+3$

$\implies n=-3$

$\textsf{substitute} \ \ n=-3 \ \ \textsf{into} \ \ m=n-1:$

$\implies m=-3-1$

$\implies m=-4$

<u>Question 3</u>

subtract the second equation from the first

divide both sides by -4

substitute found value for y into first equation

solve for x

<u>Question 4</u>

$3j=k$

$k=3j+1$

$\textsf{rearrange} \ 3j=k :$

$\implies -k=-3j$

$\textsf{add equations}\ -k=-3j \ \ \textsf{and}\ \ k=3j+1:$

$\implies 0=1$

Solution = A
