Answer:

The cost of 1kg jam is $7 and the cost of 1kg butter is $4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let jam = x

butter = y

3x + 2y = 29 -----(1)

6x + 3y = 54 -----(2)

(1)×2 ->

6x + 4y = 58 -----(3)

(3)-(2) ->

y = 4

suby=4into(2)

6x + 3(4) = 54

6x = 42

x = 7

(Correct me if i am wrong)

Help solve equations by completing the square
Allushta [10]

x^2+10x+22=13\\x^2+10x+22-13=0\\x^2+10x+9=0\\

Now completing the square.

(x^2+10x)+9=0\\(x^2+10x+25)+9-25=0\\(x+5)^2-16=0\\(x+5)^2=16

(x+5)² = 16 is the rewritten equation... For first question btw.

For the solutions to the equation -

x+5=\sqrt{16},-\sqrt{16} \\x+5=4,-4\\x=4-5,-4-5\\x=-1,-9

x = -1,-9 is the solution, for the second question.

One California fan palm tree grew 85 inches in 5 years. A queen palm tree grew 96 inches in 8 years. which tree grew faster? Exp
tester [92]
In 5 years one California Palm tree grew = 85 inches.
Then in 1 year the California palm tree grew = (85/5) inches
                                                                       = 17 inches
Again
A queen palm tree in 8 years grew = 96 inches
In 1 year the queen palm tree grew = (96/8) inches
                                                         = 12 inches.
So the California palm tree is growing at a faster rate than the queen palm tree. This is the easiest way of solving this kind of problems. Hope that i have explained the problem enough for you to understand and attempt such problems in the future without anyone's help.
