Drinks, x, and popcorn, y.
38.75 = 5x+2y
37.25 = 3x + 4y
Let's solve this using the elimination method
subtract the 2nd row from the first
<span>7x=40.2<span>5
divide both sides by 7 to isolate x
</span></span><span>x=5.7<span>5

Substitute x into an equation
</span></span><span><span>10(5.75)+4y=77.5
multiply
</span></span>57.5+4y=77.<span>5
subtract 57.5 from both sides
</span>4y=77.5−57.<span>5
Simplify
</span>4y=2<span>0
divide both sides by 4 to isolate y
y = 5

To check you would plug x and y into the equations and see if it equals properly...

The price of drinks is $5.75, the price of popcorn is $5.

Hope this helps

I need some help with this question?¿
IgorLugansk [536]
           Easy. Okay. We are trying to find out how much of the pizza they both ate together. To do this we need a common denominator. A common denominator of 3/4 and 1/8 are 8. We don't need to convert 1/8 because it already has 8 as the denominator. So we convert 3/4 into a fraction that has a fraction with a denominator of 8. We multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2 which means 3/4 is equal to 6/8. Now all we have to do is 6/8 + 1/8 which we get 7/8. So the answer is 7/8. I hope this helps.

James was trying to sleep one night but there was too much noise around him. His clock ticked every
g100num [7]

Answer:

<em>It will occur zero times between midnight and one o'clock.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Least Common Multiple (LCM)</u>

Three events keep James from sleeping: his clock ticking every 20 seconds, a tap dripping every 15 seconds, and his dog snoring every 27 seconds.

All three events happened together at midnight. They will happen together again the first time the numbers 20, 15, and 27 have a common multiple. This is the LCM.

List the prime factors of each number:

20: 2,2,5

15: 3,5

27: 3,3,3

Now multiply all the factors the maximum number of times they appear:

LCM=2*2*3*3*3*5=540

(a) All the events will happen together again after 540 minutes.

(b) Since 540 minutes = 9 hours, this event won't happen again until 9 am. Thus, it will occur zero times between midnight and one o'clock.
