Answer: The cost of one bag of chips is $1.5 and cost of one bag of pretzels is $1.05.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= Cost of one bag of chips

y= Cost of one bag of pretzels.

As per given, we have

5x+9y=16.95        ...(i)

x+y=2.55            ...(ii)

Multiply 5 to (ii), we get

5x+5y=12.75     ...(iii)

Eliminate (iii) from (i), we get

4y=4.2\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=1.05

Put value of y in (ii), we get

x+1.05=2.55\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=2.55-1.05=1.5

Hence, the cost of one bag of chips is $1.5 and cost of one bag of pretzels is $1.05.

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to 8x-5y=2 and goes through the point (-5,-2)
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

8x - 5y = - 30

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 8x - 5y = 2 into this form

Subtract 8x from both sides

- 5y = - 8x + 2 ( divide all terms by - 5 )

y = \frac{8}{5} x - \frac{2}{5} ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = \frac{8}{5}

• Parallel lines have equal slopes, hence

y = \frac{8}{5} x + c ← is the partial equation of the parallel line

To find c substitute (- 5, - 2) into the partial equation

- 2 = - 8 + c ⇒ c = - 2 + 8 = 6

y = \frac{8}{5} x + 6 ← in slope- intercept form

Multiply through by 5

5y = 8x + 30 ( subtract 5y from both sides )

0 = 8x - 5y + 30 ( subtract 30 from both sides )

8x - 5y = - 30 ← in standard form

Find the magnitude of a vector with initial point A(3, 4, 10) and terminal point B(8, 4, –2).
Fantom [35]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula in 3 dimensions

d = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2+(z_{2}-z_{1})^2      }

with (x₁, y₁, z₁ ) = (3, 4, 10) and (x₂, y₂, z₂ ) = (8, 4, - 2)

d = \sqrt{(8-3)^2+(4-4)^2+(-2-10)^2}

   = \sqrt{5^2+0^2+(-12)^2}

    = \sqrt{25+144}

    = \sqrt{169}

     = 13 → B
