If there are 6 stacks with 2 cans in each stack, then you would times 6 x 2 = 12
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation 1
Equation 2
What is the value of
where each variable represents a real number?
Let's expand equation 1:


Simplify each term if can:

See if we can factor a little to get some of the left hand side of equation 2:
The first two terms have
and if I factored
from first two terms I would have
which is the first term of left hand side of equation 2.
So let's see what happens if we gather the terms together that have the same variable squared together.

Factor the variable squared terms out of each binomial pairing:

Replace the sum of those first three terms with what it equals which is 6 from the equation 2:

Combine like terms:

Subtract 6 on both sides:

Divide both sides by 3:

Answer:
1. Going to the close store is cheaper.
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference in the prices of chicken is 3.19 -2.89 = 0.30 per pound, so for 5 pounds of chicken, the far store offers a price that totals 5×$0.30 = $1.50 less.
The difference in travel distances is 8.4 -2.4 = 6 miles, so the total round-trip distance difference is 12 miles. The cost of gas is ...
($3.81 /gal)/(23 mi/gal) = $0.1656 /mi
so the cost of gas for the 12-mile longer trip would be
12×$0.1656 ≈ $1.99
Traveling to the far store, you would spend $1.99 more on gas to save $1.50 on the price of chicken. Going to the close store is cheaper.
If the amount of money you invested in the first fund is x and the second fund y, then 9% (or 0.09 by moving the decimal 2 spots)*x+0.03*y=1047 since the first fund paid 9% and the second 3%. In addition, for this year, we get
0.1*x+0.01*y=811.
We also have 0.09*x+0.03*y=1047, so we can multiply the top equation by -3 and add it to the second to get -0.21x=-1386. Dividing both sides by -0.21, we get x=6600. In addition, since 0.1*x+0.01*y=811, we can plug 6600 in for x to get 660+0.01*y=811 and by subtracting 660 from both sides we get 0.01*y=151. Multiplying both sides by 100 (since 0.01*100=1), we get y=15100
