Answer: The cost of each pound of jellybean is $2.5

The cost for each pound of trail mix is $1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost for each pound of jellybeans be x.

Let the cost of each pound of trail mix be y.

Based on the information given, we can form an equation which will be:

For 2 pounds of jellybeans and 12 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is $23. This will be:

2x + 12y = 23 ...... i

For 5 pounds of jellybeans and 3 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is $17. This will be:

5x + 3y = 17...... ii

2x + 12y = 23 ...... i

5x + 3y = 17...... ii

Multiply equation i by 5

Multiply equation ii by 2

10x + 60y = 115 ...... iii

10x + 6y = 34 ..... iv

Subtract iv from iii

54y = 81

y = 81/54

y = 1.5

The cost for each pound of trail mix is $1.5

From equation i

2x + 12y = 23

2x + 12(1.5) = 23

2x + 18 = 23

2x = 23 - 18

2x = 5

x = 5/2 = 2.5

The cost of each pound of jellybean is $2.5

Graph quadrilateral ABCD with vertices A(2,-3), B(3,5), C(6,6) and D(5,-3) and its image after the translation (x,y)→(x−5,y−2)
maria [59]

The graph can be drawn by the placing the points and after translation points becomes A'(-3, -5), B'(-2, 3), C'(1, 4), and D'(0, -5)

<h3>What is quadrilateral?</h3>

It is defined as the four-sided polygon in geometry having four edges and four corners.

We have:

Quadrilateral ABCD with vertices A(2,-3), B(3,5), C(6,6) and D(5,-3)

We can graph it on the coordinate plane as shown in the picture.

After applying the translation (x, y)→(x−5, y−2), the points becomes:

A'(-3, -5)

B'(-2, 3)

C'(1, 4)

D'(0, -5)

Similarly, we can graph it on the coordinate plane (refer attached picture)

Thus, the graph can be drawn by the placing the points and after translation points becomes A'(-3, -5), B'(-2, 3), C'(1, 4), and D'(0, -5)
