Let the cost of one pound of candy be x and one pound of mint be y.

3x+2y=10.8 a 
x+3y = 5.35  b 
 B*3 = 3x+9y = 16.05 b
 
b-a = 7y = 16.05-10.8= 5.25
           y = 5.25/7 = 0.75 

The cost per pound of mints is $0.75

Suppose that each semester at a particular community college Manuel has to pay $1478 in tuition and $121 in fees.
Kamila [148]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Let x be time, in semesters, remaining before Manuel graduates</em>.  We find that Manuel's expenses are:

$1478/semester in tuition, and

$121/semester in fees

1.  <u>x semesters remaining:  fees</u>

  Remaining cost for fees, y, is the product of the fee times the number of semesters, x:

y =($121/semester)*x

y = ($121)*x

2.  <u>x semesters remaining:  tuition</u>

  Remaining cost, y, is the product of the tuition (times the number of semesters, x.  

y = ($1478/semester)*x + ($121/semester)*x

y = ($1599)*x

3.  <u>x semesters remaining:  tuition and fees</u>

  Remaining cost, y, is the sum of the products of the tuition (times the number of semesters, and the fees (tix.  

y = ($1478/semester)*x + ($121/semester)*x

y = ($1599)*x

How is the pythogorean theorem used to determine the distance formula
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

The distance formula uses the coordinates of points and the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the distance between points. If A and B form the hypotenuse of a right triangle, then the length of AB can be found using this formula, leg2 + leg2 = hypotenuse2 (or you can use A squared + B squared = C squared)

Am not a real genius but I hope that answers your question! ^w^
