Let's start by writing a system of linear equations:
c -> cookies
cb -> candy bars
(You can use any abbreviations to your preference)
Abby:
4 cookies
3 candy bars
$10.25 per bag
The equation would be:
4c+ 3cb = $10.25
Marissa:
2 cookies
7 candy bars
$14.75 per bag
The equation would be:
2c + 7cb = $14.75
So our linear equation system would be:
<span>4c+ 3cb = $10.25
</span><span>2c + 7cb = $14.75
I would try to get rid of one variable so I can solve for the other variable. In this case, it is easier to get rid of c since I can multiply the second equations by 2. Then it would subtract the two equations.
(2c + 7cb = $14.75) 2 = 4c + 14 cb = $29.50
4c + 3cb = $10.25
- 4c+14 cb = $29.50 (4c would get canceled.)
---------------------------------
-11 cb = - $19.25 (Divide by -11 to solve for cb)
</span> --------- -------------
-11 -11
cb = $1.75
Now we know cb (candy bar) cost, we would substitute this value into cb into one of the equations. It doesn't matter which equation you put it in. I will substitute it in the first equations.
4c + 3 (1.75) = $10.25
4c + 5.25 = $10.25 (Multiply 3 by 1.75)
-5.25 -5.25 (Subtract 5.25 on both sides)
4c = 5 (Divide by 4 on both sides to get c)
---- ---
4 4
c= 1.25
Check the work:
4(1.25) + 3(1.75)
= $10.25
2(1.25) + 7(1.75)
= $14.75
Total cost:
cookies = $1.25
candy bars = $ 1.75
Hope this helps! :)
Each division set gives the outcome of the operation 1.45 ÷ 5 which is 0.29.
- The number of hundredths in each division set is <u>D. 9</u>
Reasons:
The given Hunter's model consists of the following
One 10 × 10 number block
Four sets of a column of 10 cubes
Five individual cube pieces
Therefore;
In 1.45, we have;
1 unit
4 tenths
5 hundredths
Which gives;
Each single cube can be used to represent a hundredth in 0.05
One cube = 0.01
Each set of 10 cubes represents a tenth in 0.4
Each block of 10 by 10 can be used to represent the unit; 1
Dividing each of the 10 × 10 can be divided to sets of 20 blocks with a value of 0.2 each
The 4 sets of 10s can be divided by 5 to give sets of 8 with a value of 0.08
The 5 cubes divided 5 gives five cubes with each cube having a value of 0.01.
Therefore;
The value of each division set is 0.2 + 0.08 + 0.01 = 0.29
The number of hundredths in 0.29 = 9
The number of hundredths in each division set is therefore; <u>D. 9</u>

28 7/8, write 875/1000 and keep dividing by 5 to get the simplest form
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Left
When a square = a linear, always expand the squared expression.
x^2 - 2x + 1 = 3x - 5 Subtract 3x from both sides
x^2 - 2x - 3x + 1 = -5
x^2 - 5x +1 = - 5 Add 5 to both sides
x^2 - 5x + 1 + 5 = -5 + 5
x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0
This factors
(x - 2)(x - 3)
So one solution is x = 2 and the other is x = 3
Second from the Left
i = sqrt(-1)
i^2 = - 1
i^4 = (i^2)(i^2)
i^4 = - 1 * -1
i^4 = 1
16(i^4) - 8(i^2) + 4
16(1) - 8(-1) + 4
16 + 8 + 4
28
Second from the Right
This one is rather long. I'll get you the equations, you can solve for a and b. Maybe not as long as I think.
12 = 8a + b
<u>17 = 12a + b Subtract</u>
-5 = - 4a
a = - 5/-4 = 1.25
12 = 8*1.25 + b
12 = 10 + b
b = 12 - 10
b = 2
Now they want a + b
a + b = 1.25 + 2 = 3.25
Right
One of the ways to do this is to take out the common factor. You could also expand the square and remove the brackets of (2x - 2). Both will give you the same answer. I think expansion might be easier for you to understand, but the common factor method is shorter.
(2x - 2)^2 = 4x^2 - 8x + 4
4x^2 - 8x + 4 - 2x + 2
4x^2 - 10x + 6 The problem is factoring since neither of the first two equations work.
(2x - 2)(2x - 3) This is correct.
So the answer is D
