Set up your two equations:
<span>9x+7y=53 </span>
<span>3x+5y=25 </span>
<span>X=cost per pound of jelly bean </span>
<span>Y=cost per pound of trail mix </span>
<span>Multiply the second equation by (-3): </span>
<span>-9x-15y=-75 </span>
<span>+ 9x+7y=53 <---- copy first equation and add them </span>
<span>—————— </span>
<span>0x-8y=-22 </span>
<span>Then solve for y: </span>
<span>Y=2.76 this is your cost per pound of trail mix. </span>
<span>Then plug y back in to one of the original equations and solve for x: </span>
<span>3x+7(2.75)=25 </span>
<span>X=3.75 this is you cost per pound of jelly beans</span>
Answer:
5.74
Step-by-step explanation:
fx=5(x+4)-6
f(19)=5(19+4)-6
19f=5(23)-6
19f=115-6
19f=109
f=109÷19
f=5.74 or 19 14/19
Answer is 0.5
-2 divided by -4 equals 0.5
and same thing for the rest of the equation.
Answer:3 and 1/4 is closer to 3 and 3/5 is closer to 4
Step-by-step explanation: one is closer on the number scale then the other
A ton is 2,000 pounds so multiply 2,000 x 18
2,000 x 18 = 36,000 pounds, now add the 42 pounds to the 36,000
36,000 + 42 = 36,042 pounds. Now divide 36,042 by 3
36,042 ÷ 3 = 12,014
Your answer is 12,014 pounds
If you need your answer in tons it's 6.007 tons
Calculations for pounds to tons
12,014 ÷ 2,000 = 6.007
Hope this helps. :)
