Answer:
The price of a package of chocolate chip is $13.25
The price of a package of gingerbread is $17.18
Step-by-step explanation:
11x + 12y = 352
10x +8y = 270
Let "x" be the price of a package of chocolate chip.
Let "y" be the price of a package of gingerbread.
11x + 12y = 352(Multiply the 1st row by 10)
10x +8y = 270 (Multiply the 2nd row by 11)
-------------------
110x + 120y = 3520
110x +88y = 2970
--------------------------
3y = 550
y =550/3
y = 17.1875
The price of a package of gingerbread "y" is $17.18
Let's pick the first equation "110x + 120y = 3520"
110x + 120y = 3520
110x+ 120(17.1875)= 3520
110x+2062.5=3520
110x=3520−2062.5
110x=1457.5
x= 1457.5/110
x=13.25
The price of a package of chocolate chip is $13.25
Area of a circe = Pi x radius^2
Apply to Row 2 : Row 2 + Row 1
2x + 2y + 3z = 0
y + 4z = -3
2x + 3y + 3z = 5
Apply to Row 3: Row 3 - Row 1
2x + 2y + 3z = 0
y + 4z = -3
y = 5
Apply to Row 3: Row 3 - Row 2
2x + 2y + 3z = 0
y + 4z = -3
-4z = 8
Simplify rows
2x + 2y + 3z = 0
y + 4z = -3
z = -2
<em>Note that the matrix is in echelon form now. The next steps are for back substitution.</em>
Apply to Row 2: Row 2 - 4 Row 3
2x + 2y + 3z = 0
y = 5
z = -2
Apply to Row 1: Row 1 - 3 Row 3
2x + 2y = 6
y = 5
z = -2
Apply to Row 1: Row 1 - 2 Row 2
2x = -4
y = 5
z = 2
Simplify the rows
<u>x = -2</u>
<u>y = 5</u>
<u>z = -2</u>
Answer: (-1,-1)

Greater than! With negative numbers, the number closer to 0 is always the greater value. The number farther away from 0 is the lesser value. When we compare fractions with the same denominator, we have to compare to numerator. -2 is greater than -4, therefore -2/9 is greater than -4/9.
