Answer:Walnuts cost $1.25 and chocolate chips cost $3.25

Step-by-step explanation: Make walnuts x and chocolate chips y.

3x+5y=20

6x+2y=14

Multiply the first equation by 2 and then subtract it from the second.

-(6x+10y=40)

6x+2y=14

-8y=-26

y=3.25

Plug y back into either equation and isolate x to solve for x.

6x+2(3.25)=14

6x+6.5=14

6x=7.5

x=1.25

What value of x makes the equation true <br> 2 (6x-1) = -38
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

<h3>\boxed{\bold{\boxed{ \sf{x =  - 3}}}}</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

\sf{2(6x - 1) =  - 38}

Distribute 2 through the parentheses

⇒\sf{12x - 2 =  - 38}

Move constant to right hand side and change it's sign

⇒\sf{12x =  - 38 + 2}

Calculate

⇒\sf{12x =  - 36}

Divide both sides of the equation by 12

⇒\sf{ \frac{12x}{12}  =  \frac{ - 36}{12} }

Calculate

⇒\sf{x =  - 3}

Hope I helped!

Best regards!!

Answer: \mu_{x+y} = 3026

              \mu_{x-y}= 30

Step-by-step explanation: Average sum of the female and male's test score is the sum of expected value of each gender:

\mu_{x+y}=\mu_{x}+\mu_{y}

Assuming x represents the random male selected and y represents the random female selected:

\mu_{x+y}=1528+1498

\mu_{x+y}= 3026

The average sum of their scores is 3026.

Average difference is the difference between the expected value (mean) of each gender:

\mu_{x-y}=\mu_{x}-\mu_{y}

\mu_{x-y}= 1528 - 1498

\mu_{x-y}= 30

The average difference of their scores is 30.

Increase 250ml by 85%
vampirchik [111]
The easiest way to do a problem like this is to think about the fact that you have 100% and you want to add another 85%.
This is 185% of the quantity that you have.
Multiply 250 by 185% or 1.85.
250 * 1.85 = 462.5 ml
