This question involves systems of equations. You can use matrices on a graphing calculator or solve by elimination. Set this up as x+y=1212 and x-y=518. If you solve on a graphing calculator, click 2nd matrix then edit. Change the matrix to a two by three and input on the first line horizontally 1, 1, 1212 and on the second line 1, -1, 518. Then hit the quit button and go to the home screen. Click 2nd matrix again and hit rref and quit again and click on the name of the matrix. If you solve by elimination multiply the first one by -1 so your ys can cancel and then find x and plug in. So your two numbers are 865 and 347. 

-Trust me, learn how to do these on your calculator, it will minus the tricky solving of systems.

So write down your 2 equations:
 x + y = 1212
 x - y = 518

If you add them together, the y's will cancel out, leaving you to solve for you x
2x = 1730
x = 865

then substitute x back into one of your equations to find y
ex: 865 + y = 1212, y = 347
ex: 865 - y = 518, -y = -347, y = 347

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Number of white chocolate bars = x

Number of dark chocolate bars = y

Total bars = 15

x + y = 15 --------------(I)

Total cost = Php. 340

20x + 25y = 340 ----------------(II)

2)  We can use elimination method to solve this equations.

Multiply equation (I) by (-20) and then add the equations.

(I)* (-20)          -20x  -20y = - 300

(II)                    <u>20x + 25y = 340 </u>     {Now add and x will be eliminated}

                                  5y = 40

                                    y = 40/5

y = 8

Substitute y = 8 in equation (I)

x + 8 = 15

      x = 15 - 8

x = 7

3) Number of dark chocolate bars = 8

(3n-2)(4n+1)<br> how do i solve this by factoring?
Anni [7]

Answer:

12n^2-5n-2

The expression (3n-2)(4n+1) can be factored with the Distributive Property. It cannot be factored with a Least Common Multiple (LCM), for instance, because the terms within each set of parentheses are completely simplified.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part I

.1. (3n-2)(4n+1)\\2. F.O.I.L.: 12n^2+3n-8n-2\\3. Simplify: 12n^2-5n-2\\

Good luck to you!

Which irrational number can be multiplied by - J41 to get a product that equals 1?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer: -√1/✓41

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y be the irrational number that will be multiplied by -√41 to get the product that equals 1.

y × (-√41) = 1

We then solve for y, by dividing through with -√41. This will be:

[y × (-√41)]/-√41 = 1/-√41

y = -1/√41

y = -√1/✓41

The irrational number is negative root one over root forty one.
