The cost for each pound of trail mix and each pound of jelly is given below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let t = cost/pound of trail mix
Let j = cost/pound of jelly beans
5t + 6j = 35
3t + 2j = 15 = > 2j = 15 - 3t
5t + 3(15 - 3t) = 35
5t + 45 - 9t = 35
- 4t + 45 = 35
- 4t = - 10
4t = 10
t = 2.5
3(2.5) + 2j = 15
7.5 + 2j = 15
2j = 7.5
j = 3.75
Answer:
12x^3 - 11x^2 + 9x + 18
Step-by-step explanation:
12x^3 - 20x^2 + 24x + 9x^2 -15x + 18
Combine like terms
12x^3 - 11x^2 + 9x + 18
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x^2 + 10x + 25) + 3
2x^2 + 20x + 50 + 3
2x^2 + 20x + 53
The container will take 25 minutes to go from full to empty.
Explanation:
In 15 minutes, the container has lost 3 gallons of water (
5
−
2
=
3
).
Since the leak is at a constant rate, we can determine that every five minutes the container loses one gallon.
So for the container to lose the full 5 gallons will take 25 minutes (
5
×
5
=
25
)
