Malik stops at the grocery store to buy a bag of diapers and 2 cans of formula. He spends a total of $37. The next week he stops
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Diapers costs $11 and formula is $13.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's name diapers as A and formula as B.

Simply the equations:

1A + 2B = $37(1)

2A + 5B = $87(2)

Clear D from one equation.

A = $37 - 2B(1)

Replace D into the other equation.

2*($37 - 2B) + 5B = $87(2)

$74 - 4B + 5B = $87

$74 + B = $87

B = $87 - $74 = $13

Find A, now knowing B.

A = $37 - 2($13)

A = $37 - $26 = $11

Two siblings' ages have a sum of 64 years. The older sibling was born 6 years before their young sibling.
Elina [12.6K]

Hi!

So we have to make a system of equations here.

Let sibling 1 be O and sibling 2 be Y (for older and younger)

So:

O + Y = 64

O = 64 - Y

(Either one works)

The older sibling is 6 years older.

O = Y + 6

Make everything in terms of Y.

64 - Y = Y + 6

Same to both:

58 = 2y

2y = 58

Divide by 2 on both sides:

y = 29

Since the older sibling is 6 years older:

29 + 6 = 35

Y = 29

O = 35

Let me know if you have any questions.

Determine the quotient: (22.8 × 10–3) ÷ (5.7 × 10–6)
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

0.399

Step-by-step explanation:

The key to doing this problem properly lies in knowing and following order of operations rules.

Here we must perform mult. and div.  before  addition and subtr., but even before that we must do all work enclosed in parentheses first.

(22.8 × 10–3) is evaluated by doing the mult. first, and then subtracting 3:

(228-3) = 225

and

(5.7 × 10–6) is evaluated by doing the mult. first, then subtracting 6:

(570-6) = 564.

Finally, we divide 225 by 564, obtaining 0.399 (after rounding off to three decimal places).

Find the value of x. NO LINKS AT ALL!! ​
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

x= -7

The whole thing is just an awkward mirror but the lower triangle has an angle that is 1 degree smaller so the whole lower section is going to be bigger or smaller and the angle that mirrors the 80 degree angle is now 79 degrees which makes the other angle on that line 1 degree bigger which would be 101 so you put it in the expession to make it the equation -12x+17=101 and you solve for x which you would then get -7.
