We will need to use a systems of linear equations here. Firstly, we will use x for cans of peas and y for cans of corn. This is kind of difficult to explain, but basically, our first equation is going to be the amount x and y costs. Therefore, 0.85x + 0.78y = 6.59. This works because we need to find out how much cans she bought of each.
Next, we know that she for 2 more cans of peas than cans of corn. We can use the equation, 2 + y = x, to represent this situation. This is because she purchased two more cans of peas, so we add 2 to y (cans of corn).
Our equations are: 0.85x + 0.78y = 6.59, 2 + y = x
The Pythagorean theorem tells you ...
... c² = a² + b²
... 13² = 12² + b² . . . . . fill in the given numbers
... 169 - 144 = b² . . . . .subtract 12²
... √25 = b . . . . . . . . . take the square root
... b = 5 . . . . . . The value of b you're looking for.

The numbers {5, 12, 13} make what is called a "Pythagorean triple" a set of integers that satisfies the relation of the Pythagorean theorem. These, and the triple {3, 4, 5} are often seen in algebra problems. It can be worthwhile to remember these numbers.
Answer:
5 cups
I would appreciate Brainliest but no worries.
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
4600 patients
Discussion:
The word "increased" means augmented, made larger, or added to, so the question is asking us to evaluate
4400 + 200
= 4600
Column wise:
4400
200
-------------
4600
Thank you,
MrB
Yes. In mathematics, a function is a binary relation between two sets that associates to each element of the first set exactly one element of the second set.
