Answer:
Cost of a pound of chocolate chips: $3.5
Cost of a pound of walnuts: $1.25
Step-by-step explanation:
x - cost of a pound of chocolate chips
y - cost of a pound of walnuts
We create two equations based on the information we have:
3x+2y=13
8x+4y=33
The whole point of these problems os to get rid of x or y. In this question, we can do this by multiplying both sides of the first equation by 2, and then subtracting it from the second equation:
8x+4y=33
6x+4y=26
2x=7
x=3.5
Then we change x for 3.5 in the first equation:
3×3.5+2y=13
10.5+2y=13
2y=2.5
y=1.25
Hope this helps!
Answer: 6 students
Step-by-step explanation:
The teacher wants to give each student 2/3 of a slice of pizza but only has 4 slices to give.
If each student gets 2/3 out of 4 slices, the number of students receiving will be:
= Slices / proportion per slice
= 4 / 2/3
= 4 * 3/2
= 12/2
= 6 students

_____
The absolute value equation has two solutions. They match choice C.
Answer:
0,1,2
Step-by-step explanation:
(x+2) = 2((x+1)+(x)
x+2 = 2x+2+2x
x+2 = 4x+2
-x -x
2 = 3x + 2
-2 -2
0/3 = 3x/3
0 = x
