Answer:
- Walnuts - $1.25, chocolate chips - $3.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let walnuts = x, chocolate chips = y
<u>Set a system and solve:</u>
<u>Double the first equation and subtract the second one from it:</u>
- 6x + 10y - 6x - 2y = 40 - 14
- 8y = 26
- y = 26/8
- y = 3.25
<u>Find the value of x:</u>
- 6x + 3.25*2 = 14
- 6x = 14 - 6.5
- 6x = 7.5
- x = 7.5/6
- x = 1.25
Answer: You can multiply the top equation by -1 to eliminate the x variable.
And the solution is (2,4/3) in case you need it.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 3y = 8
2x + 6y = 12
If you multiply the upper equation or down equation by one, you will be able to eliminate the x variable.
-1( 2x + 3y) = -1(8) New equation: -2x -3y = -8.
Add the new equation you got by multiplying the top equation by -1 to the bottom equation.
Add them: -2x -3y = -8
2x + 6y = 12
3y = 4
y = 4/3
You can now input the value for y into the one of the equations and solve for x.
-2x - 3(4/3) = -8
-2x -4 = -8
+4 +4
-2x = -4
x = 2
Answer 40 cm in the squade
Answer:
b = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
Apply the exponent rule that 
In this case, 
Set that equal to 
:
Apply the exponent rule that 
so now you get:
Since the base is y for both sides of the equation, just set the exponents equal to each other and solve for b.
4b = -24
divide each side by 4 to get:
b = -6
