Answer: One kilogram of red hots is $4.

Step-by-step explanation: First of all let the red hots be represented by ‘r’ and let the gummy bears be represented by’g.’ According to the question if three kilograms of red hots and one kilogram of gummy bears cost $21, we can write this out as the following;

3r + g = 21 ———(1)

Also if three kilograms of red hots and three kilograms of gummy bears cost $39, we can write out a second equation as follows;

3r + 3g = 39 ———(2)

Now that we have a pair of simultaneous equations we shall solve for the unknowns by using the substitution method. From equation (1), make g the subject of the equation

g = 21 - 3r

Substitute for the value of g into equation (2)

3r + 3(21 - 3r) = 39

3r + 63 - 9r = 39

Collect all like terms and we have,

3r - 9r = 39 - 63

-6r = -24

Divide both sides of the equation by -6

r = 4.

Having calculated that r= 4, substitute for the value of r into equation (1)

3r + g = 21

3(4) + g = 21

12 + g = 21

Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation

g = 9.

Therefore, each kilogram of red hots cost $4, while each kilogram of gummy bears cost $9.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

each kilogram of gummy bears is 9 dollars because the difference of 39 and 21 is 18, 18/2 is 9, 21-9=12 12/3=4 , therefor each kilogram of red hots is $4.00

Need help please...............................

Note that the side adjacent to angle XYZ is given (6 cm) and that the hypo is also given (15 cm).  Thus, cos XYZ = adj / hyp = 6 cm / 15 cm  = 2/5 = 0.4.

XYZ is then  arc cos 0.4.  Use the arccos function on your calculator to determine XYZ and give XYZ in both degrees and radians.

What does the y-coordinate have to be for a point to be on the x-axis?​
vesna_86 [32]

Step-by-step explanation:

If we're talking about something like y coordinate being on the x axis, I'd have to say 0. Because it would be on the y axis no matter the coordinates of it isn't a 0. Ex : (0,0) and (0,9). (0,9) would have the point going upwards on the y axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) when x= 1/5

y = 1/5 + 1/2

y = 7/10

2) when x= 1/4

y = 1/4 + 1/2

y= 3/4

3) when x= 1/3

y = 1/3 + 1/2

y = 5 /6
