Answer:

the price of the drink to the nearest cent is $2.50

Step-by-step explanation:

1 bag of popcorn = b

1 drink = d

Amelia spends this:

6b + 3d = 18.00

6b = 18 - 3d

b = 18/6 -3d/6

b = 3 - 1/2*d

Nora spends this:

5b + 9d = 31.25

9d = 31.25 - 5b

d = 31.25/9 -5/9*b

now substitute d = 31.25/9 -5/9*b in b = 3 - 1/2*d

d = 31.25/9 -5/9*(3 - 1/2*d)

d = 31.25/9 -15/9 + 5/18d

18/18d - 5/18d = 31.25/9 -15/9

13/18d = 31.25/9 -15/9

d = 18/13 * ( 31.25/9 -15/9 )

d = 2,5

The price of a drink is $2.50

EXTRA

now substitute d = 2,5 in b = 3 - 1/2*d

b = 3 - 1/2*(2.5)

b = 3 - 1.25

b = 1.75

The price of a bag of popcorn is $1.75

In Scott’s backyard, he has a windmill that makes 5 ¾ of a turn every hour. How many turns does it make for 1 ½ hours?
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer: 8 5/8 turns

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to simply to multiply the number of turns that the windmill makes per hour (5 3/4) by the time asked (1 ½ hours).

Mathematically speaking:

5 3/4 x 1 1/2 = (5x4+3)/4 x (1x2+1)/2 = 23/4 x 3/2= 69/8 or 8 5/8 (mixed form)

In conclusion, the windmill makes 8 5/8 turns in 1 1/2 hours.

What is the difference between a defined and an undefined term in Geometry?
Flura [38]
The difference between defined and an undefined term in Geometry is that defined terms can be combined with each other or an undefined term, and by doing this, there is another term defined. For example, an angle is a combination of two rays, which is an undefined term. Undefined term on the other hand is used to define other terms.

- 7 ( z - 6 ) = - 70
NemiM [27]

Answer:

z=16

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−7(z−6)=−70

(−7)(z)+(−7)(−6)=−70(Distribute)

−7z+42=−70

Step 2: Subtract 42 from both sides.

−7z+42−42=−70−42

−7z=−112

Step 3: Divide both sides by -7.

−7z /−7 = −112 /−7

z=16
