Problem 3: Let x = price of bag of pretzels Let y = price of box of granola bars
We have Lesley's purchase: 4x+2y=13.50
And Landon's: 1x+5y=17.55
We can use the elimination method. Let's negate Landon's purchase by multiplying by -1. -1x-5y=-17.55
We add this four times to Lesley's purchase to eliminate the x variable.
2y-20y=13.50-70.2
-18y=-56.7
y = $3.15 = Price of box of granola bars
Plug back into Landon's purchase to solve for pretzels.
x+5*3.15=17.55
x+15.75=17.55
x = $1.80 = price of bag of pretzels
Problem 4.
Let w = number of wood bats sold
Let m = number of metal bats sold
From sales information we have: w + m = 23
24w+30m=606
Substitution works well here. Solve for w in the first equation, w = 23 - m, and plug this into the second.
24*(23-m)+30m=606
552-24m+30m=606
6m=54
m=9 = number of metal bats sold
Therefore since w = 23-m, w = 23-9 = 14. 14 wooden bats were sold.
30 x 30 = 900
This is the surface area of one side
900 x 6
Multiply by 6 to get the surface area of all 6 sides of the cube
900 x 6 = 5400
Equivalent expressions are expressions with equal values
The equivalent expression is 16.5d+9
<h3>How to determine the equivalent expression</h3>
The expression is given as:
14.5d+8.5-1/2d+1/2+2.5d
Express the fractions as decimals
14.5d+8.5-0.5d+0.5+2.5d
Collect like terms
14.5d-0.5d+2.5d+8.5+0.5
Evaluate the like terms
16.5d+9
Hence, the equivalent expression is 16.5d+9
