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)

The sides of a triangle are x , x +1 , 2 x -1 and its area is x root of 10 .Find the value of x.
VARVARA [1.3K]


Ok, I'm going to start off saying there is probably an easier way of doing this that's right in front of my face, but I can't see it so I'm going to use Heron's formula, which is A=√[s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)] where A is the area, s is the semiperimeter (half of the perimeter), and a, b, and c are the side lengths.

Substitute the known values into the formula:

x√10=√{[(x+x+1+2x-1)/2][({x+x+1+2x-1}/2)-x][({x+x+1+2x-1}/2)-(x+1)][({x+x+1+2x-1}/2)-(2x-1)]}

Simplify:

<span>x√10=√{[4x/2][(4x/2)-x][(4x/2)-(x+1)][(4x/2)-(2x-1)]}</span>

<span>x√10=√[2x(2x-x)(2x-x-1)(2x-2x+1)]</span>

<span>x√10=√[2x(x)(x-1)(1)]</span>

<span>x√10=√[2x²(x-1)]</span>

<span>x√10=√(2x³-2x²)</span>

<span>10x²=2x³-2x²</span>

<span>2x³-12x²=0</span>

<span>2x²(x-6)=0</span>

<span>2x²=0 or x-6=0</span>

<span>x=0 or x=6</span>

<span>Therefore, x=6 (you can't have a length of 0).</span>

-5=5(d+4)<br> Please give step by step
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

  1. first distribute the 5 to the d and 4
  2. 5(d+4) then becomes 5d+20
  3. then subtract 20 from both sides of the equation
  4. -5=5d+20 is now -25=5d
  5. lastly divide 5 from both sides
  6. -25=5d is now -5=d
  7. hope this helps!
