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 function c ( x ) = 63 ⋅ ( 1.03 ) x models the cost in dollars, c , of 1 ounce of a certain chemical used in a laboratory. x
Fudgin [204]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  $98.15

Step-by-step explanation:

2005 is 15 years after 1990. Using the formula we find ...

  c(15) = 63·1.03^15 ≈ 63·1.55797

  c(15) ≈ 98.152

An ounce of the chemical costs about $98.15 in 2005.

The difference between two numbers is 2 and their product is 224. What are the numbers?
Sati [7]

Let x,y be the two numbers. We have two pieces of information:

x-y=2 (the difference between the two numbers is 2)

xy=224 (their product is 224)

From the first equation, we can deduce x=y+2

If we plug this expression in the second equation, we have

xy = (y+2)y = 224 \iff y^2+2y-224 =0

If you solve this equation with the usual quadratic formula you get the solutions

y=-16,\quad y=14

So, you have the following couple of solutions, recalling that x is 2 more than y:

\begin{cases} x = -14\\y=-16\end{cases},\quad\begin{cases} x = 16\\y=14\end{cases}
