Answer:

44.50 = 3 x + 4 y

84= 4x +8 y

each popcorn bag costs $2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write a system of equations:

The total cost for Kevin (44.50) is equal to the product of the number of popcorn bags bought (x ) and the price of each bag, plus the product of the number of drinks purchased (y) and the price of each drink (y).

Mathematically speaking

Kevin : 44.50 = 3 x + 4 y

Using the same process for Levi:

Levi : 84= 4x +8 y

The system is  

44.50 = 3 x + 4 y (k)

84= 4x +8 y (L)

If we multiply Kevin's equation by 2 and subtract it to Levi's equation:

89 = 6x +8y

          -

( 84= 4x +8 y)

----------------------

5 = 2x

solving for x

5/2= x

2.5 =x

each popcorn  costs $2.5

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

f(6) = -14

Step-by-step explanation:

x = -6

f(x) = x^2/3 - 2

f(-6) = (-6)^2/3 -2         Replace x with the given number

      = -36/3 - 2            Simplify -6 to the power of 2

      = - 12 - 2                Divide -36 by 3

f(6) = - 14                      Subtract -2 from -12
