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:

-11

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle ABC

SO,

AB = AC +BC

x + 8 = 2x -5 + (BD + DC)

x + 8 = 2x-5 + 10 +14

x + 8 = 2x + 19

2x - x = -19 + 8

x = -11

A spinner with 12 equally sized slices has 12 yellow slices. The dial is spun and stops on a slice at random. What is the
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

1/1

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason why is because the spinner has 12 slices and on that spinner there is 12 yellow slices meaning all the slices on the spinner are yellow.

This means it is a 100% chance to land on yellow but 100% aas a fraction is 100/100.

You can simplify 100/100 a hundred times to 99/99 to 98/98 you can keep doing it but it's lowest form is the lowest number besides zero and that is 1 so it's lowest form is 1 out of 1 or 1/1 or 100%.

Hope this helps have a great afternoon:)

A medical equipment industry manufactures X-ray machines. The unit cost (the cost in dollars to make each X-ray machine) depends
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

$14,362

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the minimum unit cost is shown below:

Given that

0.6x^2 - 108x + 19,222

And as we know that the quadratic equation form is

ax^2 + bx + c

where

a = 0.6

b = -108

c = 19,222

Now for determining the minimal cost we applied the following formula which is

= \frac{-b}{2a} \\\\ =  \frac{-(-108)}{2\times 0.6} \\\\ =  \frac{108}{1.2}

= 90

Now put these values to the above equation

= 0.6\times 90^{2} - 108 \times 90 + 19,222

= 14,362
