Answer:

$9.75

Step-by-step explanation:

A store is having a sale on walnuts and chocolate chips. For 3 pounds of walnuts and 5 pounds of chocolate chips, the total cost is $16. For 6 pounds of walnuts and 2 pounds of chocolate chips, the total cost is $22

. Find the cost for each pound of walnuts and each pound of chocolate chips.

***

let x=cost/lb of walnuts

let y=cost/lb of chocolate chips

..

3x+5y=16

6x+2y=22

 

..

6x+10y=32 (mult. eq by 2)

6x+2y=22

subtract:

8y=10

y=10/8=1.25

x=16-5y=9.75

cost/lb of walnuts=$1.25

cost/lb of chocolate chips=$9.75

H = 2sqrt2
D = 6sqrt3

In a 45,45,90 triangle the hypotenuse is (x)sqrt2 while the side lengths are equivalent being a single value x. Therefore, when given the hypotenuse and solving for the leg, divide 4 by sqrt2 to get 4sqrt2/2 which simplifies to 2sqrt2 when the denominator and numerator cancel.

In a 30,60,90 triangle the short leg x is across from the 30 degree angle meaning the angle across from the 60 degree angle is x times the sqrt of 3. Therefore the long leg is 6sqrt3

In a parallelogram whose area is 15, the base is represented by x+7 and the altitude x-7. Find the base of parallelogram.
Sati [7]
Area = (base)*(height)
15 = (x+7)(x-7)
(x+7)(x-7) = 15
x^2 - 49 = 15
x^2 - 49+49 = 15+49
x^2 = 64
sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(64)
x = 8 ... note that x can't be negative

If x = 8, then the base is...
x+7 = 8+7 = 15

Therefore the base is 15 units. 
(the height is x-7 = 8-7 = 1 unit)
