Answer:
The corrrect answer is -16 and +3
Price of Brand A toothpaste for 17.4 ounces = <span>$5.22
</span>Price of Brand A toothpaste for 1 ounce = $5.22/17.4 = 0.3
Price of Brand B toothpaste for 26.6 ounces = $6.65
Price of Brand B toothpaste for 1 ounces = $6.65/26.6 = 0.25
So, if we see the price for per ounce of brand A and B, price of Brand B per ounce is less than brand A.
and if we find the difference between the prices of both = 0.3 - 0.25 = 0.05
Thus, the correct answer is "D", <span>Brand B is the better deal, because it costs $0.05 less per ounce than Brand A".</span>
You can use Substitution to solve this problem:
4x-y=20
-y=-4x+20
y=4x-20
Now you have two equations, and you use the first one to substitute into the second one.
y=4x-20 and -2x-2y=10
-2x-2(4x-20)=10
-2x-8x+40=10
-10x+40=10
-10x=-30
-x=-3
x=3
Now that we have figured out what x is, we can substitute x in to one of the equations to figure out y.
4x-y=20 x=3
4(3)-y=20
12-y=20
-y=8
y=-8
<em><u>So your answer would be x=3 and y=-8</u></em>
Answer:
X= 5, -9
Step-by-step explanation:
(X+2)² =49
Expand the bracket,
(X+2) (X+2)= 49
Apply the distributive property;
X(X+2) +2 (X+2) =49
X²+2X+2X+4=49
X²+4X+4=49
Move 49 to the left side of the equation;
X²+4X+4-49=0
X²+4X-45=0
Apply Factorisation method;
Consider the form
a²+bx+c=0
Find two numbers whose sum is equal to b and whose product is equal to c.
Comparing with our equation;
B =4 and C =45
We can use 9 and -5, this is because ;
9+(-5)=4 and 9*(-5)= 45.
Replace X +4X-45=0 with (X-5) (X+9)=0
Therefore;
X-5=0
X+9=0
Moving to the left side of the equation;
Therefore X= 5 and -9
Answer:
9x - 9
Step-by-step explanation:
6x + 3x = 9x. 1- 10 = -9
