Answer:

A salad costs $2.50

A sandwich costs $4.50

A drink costs $1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the salad, y represent the sandwich, and z represent the drink.

Since three salads, two sandwiches, and one drink cost $17.75:

3x + 2y + z = 17.75  (1)

Since one salad, one sandwich, and three drinks cost $10.75:

x + y + 3z = 10.75  (2)

Since a salad costs twice as much as a drink:

x = 2z  (3)

Multiply the equation 2 by -2 then, sum the equation 1 and equation 2:

-2x - 2y - 6z = -21.50

3x + 2y + z = 17.75

→ x - 5z = -3.75

Replace the x with 2z using equation 3:

2z - 5z = -3.75

-3z = -3.75

z = 1.25

x = 2z → x = 2.50

x + y + 3z = 10.75 → 2.50 + y + 3.75 = 10.75 → y + 6.25 = 10.75 → y = 4.50

ololo11 [35]
<h3>6w^2 +8w +4 is the simplified expression</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

We have to simplify

w^2 + 7w^2 + 8w -5+9-2w^2

We can simplify the above expression by combining the like terms

Like terms are terms that has same variable with same exponent and same or different coefficient

From given,

w^2 + 7w^2 + 8w -5+9-2w^2

Group the like terms

w^2 + 7w^2 -2w^2 + 8w - 5+9\\\\Combine\ the\ like\ terms\\\\6w^2 +8w -5+9\\\\Combine\ the\ constants\\\\6w^2 +8w +4

Thus the given expression is simplified

There are 161 calories in 28 grams you eat 9 cashews totaling 12 grams. How many cashews are in one serving
makkiz [27]

Answer:

For every 4 grams there are 3 cashews.

12g=9. So that means there are 18 cashews in 24 grams. And like we said, there are 3 cashews in every 4 grams. So there are 21 cashews for 161 cals, equating to 28g.
