Answer:
The price of a drink = $4
The price of a bag of popcorn = $5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent popcorn and d represent drink
Harper bought 10 bags of popcorn and 6 drinks and paid $79 ➡ 10p + 6d = $79
Damian bought 3 bags of popcorn and 5 drinks and paid $36.50 ➡ 3p + 5d = $36.50
Now multiply first equation by -3 and second equation by 10
-3 × (10p + 6d) = $79 ➡ -30p - 18d = -$237
10 × (3p + 5d) = $36.50 ➡ 30p + 50d = $365
Now add the new equationd
30p + 50d -30p - 18d = $365 - $237 (-30p will eliminate 30p)
32d = $128 divide both sides of the equation by 32
32 ÷ 32d = 32 ÷ $128 ➡ d = 4
If d = 4 that means a drink costs $4 we can use this information to find the price of a bag of popcorn
3p + 5d = $36.50 (replace d with 4)
3p + 4×5 = $36.50
3p + 20 = $36.50
3p = $36.50 - 20
3p = 16.50 divide both sides by 3
p = $5.5

On a number line, a number, b, is located the same distance from 0 as another number, a, but in the opposite direction
Karolina [17]

Answer:

b = -a

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

On a number line, the distance between 0 and b is the same distance that between 0 and a (but b and a are in opposite sides of zero).

And we know that, for example, when:

b = 2,  a = -2

Remember that the distance between two values is given by:

|n - m|

Then the distance between 0 and b is:

|0 - b|

and the distance between 0 and a is:

|0 - a|

we have:

|-b| = |-a|

|b| = |a|

But the numbers are in opposite sides of the zero, so one must be positive and the other negative, then we can conclude that:

b = -a

or

-b = a

(these are equivalent)

Then the correct option is the first option:

b = -a

Write 2y - 4x = -18 in slope-intercept form.*<br> Your answer
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

y = 2x - 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

2y - 4x = -18

Add 4x to both sides:

2y = 4x - 18

Divide both sides by 2:

y = 2x - 9.
