Answer:

The cost of

A small bucket = x = $8

A Larger bucket = y = $13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of

A small bucket = x

A Larger bucket = y

Kim sold 3 small buckets and 14 large buckets of popcorn for a total of $206.

3x + 14y = 206... Equation 1

Melody sold 11 small buckets and 11 large buckets of popcorn for a total of $231.

11x + 11y = 231.... Equation 2

What is the cost for a small bucket and a large bucket of popcorn?

3x + 14y = 206... Equation 1

11x + 11y = 231 ....... Equation 2

We solve using Elimination method

Multiply Equation 1 by 11 and Equation 2 by 3 to Eliminate x

33x + 154y = 2266.... Equation 3

33x + 33y = 693....... Equation 4

We subtract Equation 4 from Equation 3

121y = 1573

y = 1573/121

y = $13

Solving for x

3x + 14y = 206... Equation 1

3x + 14 × 13 = 206

3x + 182 = 206

3x = 206 - 182

3x = 24

x = 24/3

x = $8

Hence, the cost of

A small bucket = x = $8

A Larger bucket = y = $13

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Perimeter: 8cm + 8cm + 3cm + 3cm = 22cm

Area: 8cm x 3cm = 24cm

2. Perimeter: 5m + 5m + 5m + 5m = 20m

Area: 5m x 5m = 25m

3. Perimeter: 4m + 4m + 18m + 18m = 44m

Area: 4m x 18m = 72m

In the xy, y-plane, the parabola with equation y = ( x− 11)^2y=(x−11) 2 y, equals, (, x, −, 11, ), squaredintersects the line wi
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Allow me to revise your question for a better understanding.

<em>"In the xy-plane, the parabola with equation y = (x − 11) ² intersects the line with equation y = 25 at two points, A and B. What is the length of AB"  </em>

Here is my answer

Because the  parabola intersects the line with equation y = 25  Substituting y = 25 in the equation of the parabola y = (x - 11)², we get

25 = (x - 11)²

<=>x - 11 = ± 5  

<=> \left \{ {{x=6} \atop {x=16}} \right.

Thus A(16, 25) and B(6, 25) are the points of intersection of the given parabola and the given line.

So the length of AB = √[(16 - 6)² + (25 - 25)²]

= √100 = 10 units
