Solve the following word problem by using a system of equations.

For this problem, we can use systems of equations. I will use the variables <em>x </em> (for ice-cream) and <em>y</em> (for soda). We get the system:

2.25x+0.75y=30.00
x+y=18

Putting the second equation in terms of y, we get that y=-x+18. We can substitute this into our first equation.

2.25x+0.75y=30.00
becomes
2.25x+0.75(-x+18)=30

Solving for x, we get that x=11. This satisfies answer B.

However, if you want to check to see if this is correct, you could find y by plugging in your value of x into the first equation, then check to see if your found values satisfy BOTH equations.

2.25(11)+0.75y=30
24.75+0.75y=30
0.75y=5.25
y=7

Then we plug this into both equations to see if they are true.

2.25(11)+0.75(7)=30
24.75+5.25=30
30=30 (This is true)

x+y=18
11+7=18
18=18 (This is true).

Both equations are true, so the value for x and y are correct. We see that only answer B is supported through analyzing your work.

Helppppppppppppppppppppppppp
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Radius: 8

Circumference: 50.27

πr^2 = Area of circle

201.06 = πr^2

divide by pi

201.06 / π = 63.9993857161 = 64

64 = r^2

Square root both sides to get radius.

\sqrt{64} = 8

r = 8

Circumference = π x diameter

Diameter = 2 x radius

Circumference = π x 16 = 50.2654824574 = 50.27

Complete the table:<br> 6,000<br> meters<br> kilometers<br> 8,000<br> 9,000<br> 5<br> 7
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Remember while answering, 1 kilometer = 1,000 meters

5,000 ⇒ 5

6,000 ⇒ 6

7,000 ⇒ 7

8,000 ⇒ 8

9,000 ⇒ 9

Step-by-step explanation:

1 kilometer is 1,000 meters because "kilo" means 1,000

Knowing this we can make an equation to figure this out

When we know x, or meters, we can do y = x/1,000

When we know y, or kilometers, we can do x = 1,000y
