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.

faltersainse [42]

Based on Diego's normal usage of his phone, if the battery is at 75%, the phone will not last the whole trip.

<h3>How long will the phone battery last?</h3>

First find out how long each percentage of battery life lasts:

= 15 / 100

= 0.15 hours

If Diego is going on a 12 hour trip with 75%, the length of time it would last is:

= 0.15 x 75

= 11.25 hours

This is less than the 12 hours required so the phone will not last the whole trip.

Rest of question:

At 100%, the battery can go for 15 hours.

Solve the following expression:

9(5x - 5) + 7x

-Use <u>Distributive Property</u>:

9(5x - 5) + 7x

45x - 45 + 7x

-Combine like terms:

45x - 45 + 7x

Find the limit of the function by using direct substitution. limit as x approaches one of quantity x squared plus three x minus
ivann1987 [24]

<u>Answer:</u>

Limit = -1

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given the following function:

x^2 + 3x -1

We are to calculate the limit of this function as x approaches zero.

For that, we will use direct substitution method and substitute the x with 0 in the given function to calculate its limit as follows:

x ^ 2 + 3 x - 1

( 0 ) ^ 2 + 3 ( 0 ) - 1 = - 1

Therefore, the limit is -1.
