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

Salma and coron broomall have reached an agreed upon price of $197,000. They plan to make a 30 percent down payment and finance
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

1. The monthly payment is $689.5

2. The total amount to be paid is

$224,580.

Step-by-step explanation:

Salsa and Corn Broom all reached an agreement upon the price of $197,000.

- The plan on making a 30 percent down payment. This implies that the will pay 0.3 × $197,000 = $59,100

This leaves them with

$197,000 - $59,100

= $137,900 to pay.

The plan on financing this remaining amount at 6 percent for 20 years.

This means they will pay

0.06 × $137,900 = $8,274 for 20 years. This translates to the payment of $8,274 × 20 = $165,480 across the 20 years.

1. The monthly payment is the yearly payment divided by 12.

Which is $8,274 ÷ 12 = $689.5

2. The total amount to be paid is

$165,480 + $59,100

= $224,580.

Rewrite using negative exponent: 5/x^2
STALIN [3.7K]
The rule for negative exponents is that if the exponent is negative to begin with, in order to make it negative, you put it into the denominator of a fraction, and raise it to whatever the power is.  To go from positive exponents (those that are already in the denominator), move it up to the numerator and make the exponent negative. So your solution would be 5x^-2
