Answer:

there are 11 big-bags and 24 small-bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

there are x big-bags and y small-bags.

so now we can know:

(1) x + y = 35

(2) 12x + 7y = 300

in (1),we can do like this:

both left and right x7

then (x + y)x7 = 35 x 7

then 7x + 7y = 35 x 7  

then 7x + 7y = 245

now,

(1)7x + 7y =245

(2)12x + 7y = 300

we can both left and right do this: (2) - (1)

then

(12x + 7y) - (7x + 7y) = 300 -245

then

12x + 7y - 7x - 7y = 300 -245

then

12x - 7x +7y - 7y =300 -245

then

5x =55

then

5x ÷ 5 = 55 ÷ 5

then

x = 11

because

x + y =35;x=11

so

11 + y =35

11+ y -11 = 35 -11

then

y = 24

now we know:there are 11 big-bags and 24 small-bags.

A grocery store sells 5 bottles of water for $3 and 15 bottles of water for$8 is the cost of the water proportional to the numbe
egoroff_w [7]
Hi there! 5 bottles of water for $3 would make $0.60 per bottle. 0.6 * 15 = 9. That means 15 bottles of water should equal $9, but instead it is $8. Based on that, no. The costs for bottles of water is not proportional to the numbers sold. Basically, you can divide to find unit prices and multiply the number of another item to see if the numbers are proportional.

For what values of x is x2-36=5x true?<br> 0 -9 and 4<br> 04 and 9<br> 4 and -9<br> 09 and 4
ipn [44]

Answer:

x = - 4 and x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 36 = 5x ( subtract 5x from both sides )

x² - 5x - 36 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 36) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 5)

The factors are - 9 and + 4, since

- 9 × 4 = - 36 and - 9 + 4 = - 5, thus

(x - 9)(x + 4) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 9 = 0 ⇒ x = 9

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4
