Answer:

So a bag of chip costs $2.39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = cost of a bag of chip

Let y = cost of a box of pretzel

Micheal buys two bags of chips and three boxes of pretzels for $5.13

This means

2x + 3y = 5.13 - - - - - - - - - -1

He then buys another bag of chips and 2 boxes of pretzels for $3.09

This means

x + 2y = 3.09 - - - - - - - - - - - -2

Solving equation 1 and equation 2 simultaneously and using the elimination method,

Multiply equation 1 by 1 and equation 2 by 2

2x + 3y = 5.13

2x + 6y = 6.18

Subtracting,

-3y = -1.05

y = -1.05/-3= $0.35

Put y= 0.35 in equation, x + 2y = 3.09

x + 2(0.35)= 3.09

x + 0.7= 3.09

x = 3.09-0.7 = $ 2.39

So a bag of chip costs $2.39

How do u write 1.2 as a fraction
Ivahew [28]
Split the number into its whole number component and decimal component.

for the decimal component, 0.2 is the same as 2/10

Find the GCF of both 2 and 10 and that would be 2

divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCF 

simplify and you get 1/5

Lastly combine the whole number component with the fraction and your answer would be 1 1/5.

Translate<br> (x-2, y+D) then<br> rotate 90°<br> counterclockwise<br> (-1, 1)
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

By taking (-1, 1) and translating it left by 2 and up by D we have (-3, 1+D)

Rotating 90° counterclockwise puts a negative on your y-coordinate and switches the x and y-coordinates.

Final answer:

(-1-D, -3)

A number divided by 43 has a quotient of 3 with 28 as a remainder. Find the number. Show your work. Write another division probl
antiseptic1488 [7]

A quotient of 3 with 28 as a remainder means that 43 fits inside our number 3 times, and you have 28 more units as a remainder.

So, our number is

3\times 43 + 28 = 129+28=157

To write another division problem that has a quotient of 3 and a remainder of 28, we simply choose another number to substitute 43 in the expression above. For example, if we choose 100, the expression becomes

3\times 100 + 28 = 300+28=328

Which means that 328 has quotient of 3 with 28 as a remainder when divided by 100.
