Problem 3: Let x = price of bag of pretzels Let y = price of box of granola bars
We have Lesley's purchase: 4x+2y=13.50
And Landon's: 1x+5y=17.55
We can use the elimination method. Let's negate Landon's purchase by multiplying by -1. -1x-5y=-17.55
We add this four times to Lesley's purchase to eliminate the x variable.
2y-20y=13.50-70.2
-18y=-56.7
y = $3.15 = Price of box of granola bars
Plug back into Landon's purchase to solve for pretzels.
x+5*3.15=17.55
x+15.75=17.55
x = $1.80 = price of bag of pretzels
Problem 4.
Let w = number of wood bats sold
Let m = number of metal bats sold
From sales information we have: w + m = 23
24w+30m=606
Substitution works well here. Solve for w in the first equation, w = 23 - m, and plug this into the second.
24*(23-m)+30m=606
552-24m+30m=606
6m=54
m=9 = number of metal bats sold
Therefore since w = 23-m, w = 23-9 = 14. 14 wooden bats were sold.
The maximum amount of supplies that the storage unit can hold is 28 ft³
<h3>How to calculate the volume of a rectangular prism?</h3>
For us to calculate the volume or amount of space in Evan's prism, we will first of all calculate the volume of rectangular prisms. Formula is;
V = Length × width × height.
We are given;
length = 4 feet
width = 3.5 feet
height of the prism = 2 feet.
Thus;
V = 4 * 3.5 * 2
V = 28 ft³
Thus, the maximum amount of supplies that the storage unit can hold is 28 ft³

Answer:
8x + 11= 315
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the number of students in a bus
There are 8 buses
8x is the number of students in buses
There are 11 students in cars
Add this together to get all the students, which is 315
8x + 11= 315
If 1/6 of the pan was left and there were 2 pieces left you just need to set 1/6 equal to 2/some number, this allows you to say that 1/6=2/x --> x/6=2-->x=12.
My explanation might be a little poor since this becomes fairly fundamental later on but hopefully it helps.
