Jan and Wayne went to the store to buy some groceries. Jan bought 2 cans of corn beef hash and 3 cans of creamed chipped beef fo

r $4.95. Wayne bought 3 cans of corn beef hash and 2 cans of creamed chipped beef for $5.45. Let H represent the price of a can of corn beef hash, and C represent the price of a can of creamed chipped beef. Which system of equations models the word problem on the left?

Answer:

The system of equations that models the problem is:

\left \{ {{2*H+3*C=4.95} \atop {3*H+2*C=5.45}} \right.

Step-by-step explanation:

A system of equations is a set of two or more equations with several unknowns in which we want to find a common solution. So, a system of linear equations is a set of (linear) equations that have more than one unknown that appear in several of the equations. The equations relate these variables or unknowns to each other.

In this case, the unknown variables are:

  • H: price of a can of corn beef hash
  • C: price of a can of creamed chipped beef

Knowing the unit price of a product, the price of a certain quantity of that product is calculated by multiplying that quantity by the unit price. So the price for 2 cans of ground beef hash can be calculated as 2 * H and the price for 3 cans of ground beef with cream can be calculated as 3 * C. Jan paid $ 4.95 for those amounts from both cans. This means that the sum of the can prices must be $ 4.95. So: <u><em>2*H + 3*C= 4.95 Equation (A)</em></u>

Thinking similarly, if Wayne bought 3 cans of corn beef hash and 2 cans of creamed chipped beef for $5.45, Wayne's buy can be expressed by the equation:

<u><em>3*H + 2*C= 5.45 Equation (B)</em></u>

Finally, <u><em>the system of equations that models the problem is:</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>\left \{ {{2*H+3*C=4.95} \atop {3*H+2*C=5.45}} \right.<u><em></em></u>

Find the area of the irregular figure.
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Option A. 432\ units^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the irregular figure is equal to the area of two trapezoids

The area of trapezoid is equal to

A=\frac{1}{2}(b1+b2)h

where

b1,b2 are the parallel bases

h is the perpendicular distance between the parallel bases

<u>Find the left trapezoid area</u>

A1=\frac{1}{2}(4+25)(16)=232\ units^{2}

<u>Find the trapezoid area on the right</u>

A2=\frac{1}{2}(25+15)(10)=200\ units^{2}

The area of the irregular figure is

A=A1+A2=232\ units^{2}+200\ units^{2}=432\ units^{2}

A school district transported a total of 409 students and teachers to a zoo in buses and vans.
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of buses and y be the number of vans.

We know that there are 5 more buses than vans, therefore, we can set up:

x=y+5

Since a bus transports 55 people and a van transports 12 people, therefore, we can set up:

55x+12y = 409\\

Now lets solve the above two equations together by substitution

55(y+5)+12y = 409\\\\55y+275+12y=409\\\\67y+275=409\\\\67y=409-275\\\\67y=134\\\\y=2,x=2+5=7

Total number of students and teachers who rode to the zoo in buses=55*7=385

Total number of students and teachers who rode to the zoo in vans=12*2=24
