Answer:

Bottle of water = $2
Bottle of grape juice = $1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Grape juice = g
Water = w

Equations:

3g + 5w = 14.50
2g + 3w = 9.00

Subtract the 3 times the second equation from the twice the first:

2*(3g + 5w) - 3(2g + 3w) = 2*14.50 - 3*9.00
6g + 10w - 6g - 9w = 29 - 27
w = 2

Then, finding g:

3g + 2*5= 14.50
3g = 14.50 - 10
3g = 4.5
g = 1.50

Vesna [10]

Answer:

Mai lives 384 miles away from the mountains

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent distance between Mai's house and mountains and r represent Mai's rate while going to mountains.

We have been given that there was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip to mountains took 8 hours.

$\text{Distance}}=\text{Time}\times \text{Speed}$

$d=8r...(1)$

We are also told that when Mai drove home, there was no traffic and the trip only took 6 hours. Her average rate was 16 miles per hour faster on the trip home.

$d=6(r+16)...(2)$
