Marie, Shelia, and Martha bought snacks for a girl's sleepover. They each bought the items shown in the following table at the l

creativ13 [48]

Using a system of equations, it is found that the unit prices are:

$2.25 for a bag of chips.

$1.50 for a liter of pop.

$1.75 for a chocolate bar.

For the system:

x is the unit price of a bag of chips.

y is the unit price of liter of pop.

z is the unit price for a chocolate bar.

From the table, the equations are:

$2x + 2y + z = 9.25$

$3x + 4y + z = 14.50$

$x + 3y + 3z = 12$

Replacing the first equation on the second and the third:

$z = 9.25 - 2x - 2y$

$3x + 4y + z = 14.50$

$3x + 4y + 9.25 - 2x - 2y = 14.50$

$x + 2y = 5.25$

$x = 5.25 - 2y$

$x + 3y + 3z = 12$

$x + 3y + 3(9.25 - 2x - 2y) = 12$

$-5x - 3y = -15.75$

$5x + 3y = 15.75$

Since $x = 5.25 - 2y$ :

$5(5.25 - 2y) + 3y = 15.75$

$-7y = -10.5$

$y = \frac{10.5}{7}$

$y = 1.5$

Then:

$x = 5.25 - 2y = 5.25 - 2(1.5) = 2.25$

$z = 9.25 - 2x - 2y = 9.25 - 2(2.25) - 2(1.5) = 1.75$

The unit prices are:

$2.25 for a bag of chips.

$1.50 for a liter of pop.

$1.75 for a chocolate bar.

Answer: Opens up, has a minimum

Step-by-step explanation:

If the x^2 term is positive the parabola opens up, if it is negative it opens down. Minimum always goes with up, maximum with down

1 quart = 2 pints

720/2 = 360 quarts per hour

1 hour = 60 minutes

360/60 = 6 quarts per minute

Andre has a summer job selling magazine subscriptions. He earns $25 each week plus $3 for every subscription he sells. Andre hop

Strike441 [17]

Answer: 25 + 3n

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, the answer is lacking the last part:

Write an expression for the amount of money he makes this week.

So, to answer this we have to write an expression:

The fixed amount that he earns per week (25) plus the product of the amount he earns per subscription (3) and the number of subscriptions sold (n) , must be equal to his weekly earnings.

Mathematically speaking:

25 + 3n

You picked two marbles from a bag and record their color. How can you make your selections independent events? Dependent events?

olga55 [171]

Answer:

Let's suppose the next case:

We have a bag, where there are 5 red marbles, and 5 blue marbles.

We have a total of 10 marbles.

Suppose that we pick a marble and we do not replace it, and suppose that the first one is a red marble.

Then now we have in the bag a total of 4 red marbles and 5 blue marbles.

Now let's find the probability of picking a blue marble, this will be equal to the quotient between the number of blue marbles (5) and the total number of marbles (9)

P = 5/9

Now, suppose that instead of a red marble in the first pick, we had a blue marble.

Then now we have 4 blue marbles and 5 red marbles in the bag.

Again, the probability of picking a blue marble will be equal to the quotient between the number of blue marbles (4) and total numbergof marbles (9)

P = 4/9

Then the first pick does affect the probabilities for the second pick, this means that if we do not replace the first marble we pick, then the events will be dependent.

Now, if we replaced the first marble we picked (we put it again in the bag) then the number of blue marbles and red marbles is always the same, then in this case bot events will be independent (the first event will not affect the second event)
