Hi there!

PART A:
The system of equations we would use would be:
x + y = 22 (amount of items)
3x + 1y = 30 (cost)

Variables:
x = the amount of strawberry wafers bought at the price of $3
y = the amount of chocolate wafers bought at the price of $1

PART B:
To solve, we'll use substitution because we can easily isolate a variable using the first equation.

Work:
x + y = 22 (first equation)
y = 22 - x (isolating a variable)
3x + 1y = 30 (second equation)
3x + (22 - x) = 30 (substituting into the second equation)
2x + 22 = 30 (simplifying)
2x = 8 (subtracting)
x = 4 strawberry wafers
4 + y = 22 (substituting x into the first equation to solve for y)
y = 18 chocolate wafers

ANSWER:
They bought 4 strawberry wafers and 18 chocolate wafers.

Hope this helps!! :)

(a)

421₅ = 4×5² + 2×5¹ + 1×5⁰

… = 100 + 10 + 1

… = 111

(b)

11101₂ = 1×2⁴ + 1×2³ + 1×2² + 0×2¹ + 1×2⁰

… = 16 + 8 + 4 + 0 + 1

… = 29

(c)

13T₁₂ = 1×12² + 3×12¹ + 10×12⁰

… = 144 + 36 + 10

… = 190

Can anyone help me please, I will mark brainliest to the right answer
adoni [48]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

First 4 sets of (x, y) show that when x increases 2, y increases 3. It seems the relationship is linear. But last 2 set show that x increases 1, y increases 3. So the relation is NOT linear

Find the sum of the finite geometric series: 5 + 10 + 20 + ... +81,920.
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a geometric sequence since there is a common ratio between each term. In this case, multiplying the previous term in the sequence by  2  gives the next term. In other words,  <em>a n +a1 ⋅ r n -1</em><em> </em>

Geometric Sequence:<em>  </em><em>r = 2</em>

The series given has a value of<em>  </em><em>r  </em>such that <em>r  >  1  or   r  <  −  1.</em> Therefore, the infinite sum cannot be calculated.<em> </em>

<em> </em>
