Let, the cost of 1 piece of fudge = x
Cost of a gum = y
System of equations: 5x + 3y = 5.70
2x + 10y = 3.60
Multiply 1st equation by 2, and second by 5,
New equations: 10x + 6y = 11.40
10x + 50y = 18
Now, subtract 1st from 2nd,
44y = 6.60
y = 6.60 / 44
y = 0.15
Substitute it in second equation,
2x + 10(0.15) = 3.60
2x = 3.60 - 1.5
x = 2.10 / 2
x = 1.05
In short, Cost of a Fudge = $1.05 & Cost of a gum = $0.15
Hope this helps!
54/-2 = -27
First, let's rewrite:
Let x represent the unknown number:
Hence, 54/-2 = -27
Answer:
A) a • (b • c) = (a • b) • c
Step-by-step explanation:
The associative property of multiplication (or addition) shows that the order the numbers are multiplied it irrelevant, more specifically in the manners of parentheses.
So, the answer is A, which can also be seen in that substituting a as 5, b as 3, and c as 6 gives us the first example.

Answer:</h2>
The answer is 25 minutes
<h2>
Step-by-step explanation:</h2>
As we see the median time given in minutes before the installation was 53 minutes and after the installation it became 28 so by taking the difference which is 53 - 28 gives us 25 minutes.
First get like things on the same side:
-5/6b - 1/2b= -2/3 - 3/4
Then find equivalent fractions to make the equation easier to solve.
-5/6b - 3/6b= -8/12 - 9/12
Then just add things together and solve.
-8/6b= -17/12
-8b= 6(-17/12)
-8b= -17/2
b= (-17/2)/-8
b= 17/16
You can then plug the answer back into the original question to make sure it is the correct answer.
