Makayla and Emily go to the movie theater and purchase refreshments for their friends. Makayla spends a total of $57.00 on 6 dri

nks and 6 bags of popcorn. Emily spends a total of $33.00 on 4 drinks and 3 bags of popcorn. Write a system of equations that can be used to find the price of one drink and the price of one bag of popcorn. Using these equations, determine and state the price of a drink, to the nearest cent.

Answer:

A drink costs $4.50 and a bag of popcorn costs $5.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

The system would be:

$6d+6p=57\\4d+3p=33\\$

I'll be using the subtraction method first, to find d (price of a drink):

$+6d+6p=+57\\-8d-6p=-66\\--------\\-2d=-9\\\\2d=9\\d=4.5$

Now, we substitute in and solve for p:

$6(4.5)+6p=57\\27+6p=57\\6p=30\\p=5$

Finally, we use the second equation to check the values:

$4(4.5)+3(5)=33\\18+15=33\\33=33$

So:

$\left \{ {{d=4.5} \atop {p=5}} \right.$

Determine whether the geometric series 27 + 18 + 12 + 8 + ... converges or diverges, and identify the sum if it exists.

Ne4ueva [31]

The given geometric series as shown in the question is seen to; Be converging with its' sum as 81

<h3>How to identify a converging or diverging series?</h3>

We are given the geometric series;

27 + 18 + 12 + 8 + ...

Now, we see that;

First term; a₀ = 27

Second Term; a₁ = 2(27/3)

Third term; a₂ = 2²(27/3²)

Fourth term; a₃ = 2³(27/3³)

Thus, the formula is;

2ⁿ(27/3ⁿ)

Applying limits at infinity gives;

2^(∞) * (27/3^(∞)) = 0

Since the terms of the series tend to zero, we can affirm that the series converges.

The sum of an infinite converging series is:

S_n = a/(1 - r)

S_n = 27/(1 - (2/3)

S_n = 81

israel started to solve a radical equation in this way: square root of x plus 6 − 4 = x square root of x plus 6 − 4 4 = x 4 squa

agasfer [191]

Lets solve our radical equation $\sqrt{x+6}-4=x$ step by step.

Step 1 add 4 to both sides of the equation:

$\sqrt{x+6} -4+4=x +4$

$\sqrt{x} +6=x+4$

Step 2 square both sides of the equation:

$\sqrt{x+6} =x+4$

$\sqrt{x+6}^2 =(x+4)^2$

$x+6=(x+4)^2$

Step 3 expand the binomial in the right hand side:

$x+6=x^2+8x+16$

Step 4 simplify the expression:

$0=x^2+8x-x+16-6$

$x^2+7x+10=0$

Step 5 factor the expression:

$(x+2)(x+5)=0$

Step 6 solve for each factor:

$x+2=0$ or $x+5=0$

$x=-2$ or $x=-5$

Now we are going to check both solutions in the original equation to prove if they are valid:

For $x=-2$

$\sqrt{x+6}-4=x$

$\sqrt{-2+6}-4=-2$

$\sqrt{4}-4=-2$

$2-4=-2$

$-2=-2$

The solution $x=2$ is a valid solution of the rational equation $\sqrt{x+6}-4=x$ .

For $x=-5$

$\sqrt{x+6}-4=x$

$\sqrt{-5+6}-4=-5$

$\sqrt{1}-4=-5$

$1-4=-5$

$-3\neq -5$

Since -3 is not equal to -5, the solution $x=-5$ is not a valid solution of the rational equation $\sqrt{x+6}-4=x$ ; therefore, $x=-5$ is an extraneous solution of the equation.

We can conclude that even all the algebraic procedures of Israel are correct, he did not check for extraneous solutions.

An extraneous solution of an equation is the solution that emerges from the algebraic process of solving the equation but is not a valid solution of the equation. Is worth pointing out that extraneous solutions are particularly frequent in rational equation.
