The cost of one drink is $2.50 and cost of one popcorn is $3.75

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Suppose, the cost of one drink is x dollar and cost of one popcorn is y dollar.

Given that, total cost for 2 drinks and 2 popcorns is $12.50  and  total cost for 6 drinks and 5 popcorns is $33.75

So, the system of equations will be......

2x+2y=12.50 ..................................... (1)\\ \\ 6x+5y= 33.75 ..................................... (2)

Multiplying equation (1) by -3 , we will get.....

-3(2x+2y)=-3(12.50)\\ \\ -6x-6y=-37.50 ..................................... (3)

Now, adding equation (2) and equation (3) , we will get ............

5y-6y=33.75-37.50\\ \\ -y=-3.75\\ \\ y=3.75

Plugging this y=3.75 into equation (1) ......

2x+2(3.75)=12.50\\ \\ 2x+7.50=12.50\\ \\ 2x=12.50-7.50=5\\ \\ x=\frac{5}{2}=2.50

So, the cost of one drink is $2.50 and cost of one popcorn is $3.75

F (x) = x^2 - 2x + 1
f (x) = (-2)^2 - 2(-2) + 1
= 4 + 4 + 1
= 9
f (x) = ( 0 )^2 - 2 (0) + 1
= 0 - 0 + 1
= 1
0 = x^2 - 2x + 1
x^2 = 2x - 1 = 1
f (2) = 2^2 - 2(2) + 1
= 4 - 4 + 1
= 1
f (3) = 3^2 - 2(3) + 1
= 9 - 6 + 1
= 3 + 1
= 4

Ivanshal [37]

Answer: 11\ \text{pounds}\ 6\ \text{ounces}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Issac and Isaiah born weighing 6 pounds 2 ounces and 5 pounds and 4 ounces.

1 Pound is equivalent to 16 ounces

Issac weighs

\Rightarrow 6+\dfrac{2}{16}\ \text{Pounds}

Isaiah weighs

\Rightarrow 5+\dfrac{4}{16}\ \text{Pounds}

Their combined weight is

\Rightarrow 6+5+\dfrac{2}{16}+\dfrac{4}{16}\\\\\Rightarrow 11+\dfrac{6}{16}\ or\\\\\Rightarrow 11\ \text{pounds}\ 6\ \text{ounces}
