Based on the word problem, define two variables (x and y) and write a system of equations to represent the situation. Then solve

your system using the substitution method.
You have recently discovered that you can buy them, in bulk, directly from the manufacturer. You’ve decided to spend every dollar you have on Cheetos and Takis. You’re going to buy a total of 30 bags (Cheetos and Takis combined). The Cheetos cost $15 for a large bag and the Takis cost $40 for a large bag, and you have $750 to spend. How many of each type of snack do you buy?

Answer:

18 cheetos bags, 12 takis bags

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Assigning:</u>

Let x = number of cheetos bag(s)

Let y = number of takis bag(s)

<u>System of Equations:</u>

x + y = 30

15x + 40y = 750

<u>Solving:</u>

Isolate y in first equation : y = 30 - x

Substitute into second equation:

15x + 40(30 - x) = 750,

15x + 1200 - 40x = 750,

-25x = - 450,

x = 18 cheetos bags

y = 30 - 18 = 12 takis bags

Answer:

the solution for the system is;

c = 18 \\ t = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C be the number of cheetos bags that you will buy and T the corresponding number of Takis bags.

Since you're going to buy a total of 30 bags, then;

c + t = 30

Since the Cheetos bag cost $15, then the total cost for C bags is 15C. The same way, since the Takis bag cost $40, the total cost for T bags is 40T. Since you will spend $750, then;

15c + 40t = 750

Use the substitution method to solve the system. To do so, isolate one variable from the first equation and substitute the resulting expression into the second equation;

c + t = 30 \\ c = 30 - t

Substitute that expression for C into the second equation and solve for T:

15c + 40t = 750 \\ 15(30 - t) + 40t = 750 \\ 450 - 15t + 40t = 750 \\ 450 + 25t = 750 \\ 25t = 750 - 450 \\ 25t = 300 \\ t =  \frac{300}{25}  \\ t = 12

Substitute back T=12 into the expression for C;

c = 30 - t \\ c = 30 - 12 \\ c = 18

Therefore, the solution for the system is;

c = 18 \\ t = 12

Which mean that you buy 12 bags of Takis and 18 bags of Cheetos.

The sides of a triangle are 5, 12, and n. Write an inequality that expresses the interval of values that n may have.
Airida [17]
Since the sum of third side of a triangle is smaller than the sum of other two sides
So n<12+5
n<17

Which equation can be used to represent “six added to twice the sum of a number and four is equal to one-half of the difference
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
First the left side of an equation:"six added to twice the sum of a number and four": ( x - a number )
6 + 2 ( x + 4 )Then the right side:"one half of a difference of three and a number":1/2 ( 3 - x )And the solution:A )  6 + 2 ( x + 4 ) = 1/2 ( 3 - x )

A right rectangular prism has these dimensions:
DochEvi [55]
Hey there :)

The volume formula of a rectangular prism is
V = height x length x width

Given are:
Length = 1\frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2}
Width = \frac{1}{2}
Height = \frac{3}{4}

Lets find the volume:
V = \frac{3}{2} x \frac{1}{2} x \frac{3}{4}
   =  \frac{9}{16} units³

The volume formula of a cube is
V = side³

Given is:
Side = ( \frac{1}{4} )^3  
        = \frac{1}{64} units³

To find how many cubes fit in the rectangular prism, we divide the volumes
Volume of prism divided by volume of cube
\frac{9}{16} ÷ \frac{1}{64}
Since it is a fraction that is involved in division, we find the reciprocal and multiply

= \frac{9}{16}  x  64 
= 36

Your answer will be the 1st option
