Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

0.4x - 1.2 = 0.15x + 0.8

0.4x - 1.2 + 1.2 = 0.4x

0.15x + 0.8 + 1.2 = 0.15x + 2

0.4x = 0.15x + 2

0.4x - 0.15x = 0.25x

0.15x + 2 - 0.15x = 2

0.25x = 2

0.25x / 0.25 = x

2 / 0.25 = 8

x = 8

Garrett and Carter went to the movies last weekend. Together they bought 2 drinks and 2 popcorns. They spent a total of $12.50.

-BARSIC- [3]

The cost of one drink is $2.50 and cost of one popcorn is $3.75

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Suppose, the cost of one drink is $x$ dollar and cost of one popcorn is $y$ dollar.

Given that, total cost for 2 drinks and 2 popcorns is $12.50 and total cost for 6 drinks and 5 popcorns is $33.75

So, the system of equations will be......

$2x+2y=12.50 ..................................... (1)\\ \\ 6x+5y= 33.75 ..................................... (2)$

Multiplying equation (1) by -3 , we will get.....

$-3(2x+2y)=-3(12.50)\\ \\ -6x-6y=-37.50 ..................................... (3)$

Now, adding equation (2) and equation (3) , we will get ............

$5y-6y=33.75-37.50\\ \\ -y=-3.75\\ \\ y=3.75$

Plugging this $y=3.75$ into equation (1) ......

$2x+2(3.75)=12.50\\ \\ 2x+7.50=12.50\\ \\ 2x=12.50-7.50=5\\ \\ x=\frac{5}{2}=2.50$

So, the cost of one drink is $2.50 and cost of one popcorn is $3.75

A binomial has been partially factored, as shown below:

sesenic [268]

Answer: x-6

Explanation: x^2 is a DOTS, or difference of two squares. 36 is a perfect square and x^2 is a perfect square, and you are finding the difference. Therefore, you can do (x+6)(x-6). This works with any number. If there was x^2-16, it could be factored to (x+4)(x-4)
