Answer:

Chocolate Chips cost $2.25 and Walnuts cost $3.25 per pound each

Step-by-step explanatChocion:

Let x = cost of pounds of chocolate chip cookies and y = cost of pounds of walnuts.

From the question, we get 5x+3y = 21 and 2x+6y = 24. To solve the equation, we use substitution. From the first equation, we get y = (21-5x)/3. We substitute the y into the second equation to get 2x + 6(21-5x)/3 = 24. This turns out to be 2x+(42-10x) = 24. Adding like terms you should get 42-8x = 24. Solving for x, x = $2.25 per pound. Plugging this into the first equation, we get 5(2.25)+3y = 21. Solving for y, we get $3.25 per pound of walnuts. If we plug in the numbers into the 2 equations, we will get the right total.

Answer: 60n^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the least common multiply, you must descompose 12 and 15 into their prime factors, as you can  see below:

12=2*2*3=2²*3

15=3*5

Choose the common and non common numbers with their greastest exponents:

3*5*2²=60

Now you must choose the common and non common variables with their greastest exponents:

n³

  Therefore, you can conclude that the least common multiply is:

60n^{3}
