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 polynomial has a graph that passes through the given points?
Evgen [1.6K]
The answer is <span>B. y = x^3 + 4x^2 + 2x - 2 

A line that passes through all given point is the correct choice. Now, substitute x and y in all of the choices:

</span>B. y = x³ + 4x²<span> + 2x - 2 
Point 1: </span><span>(-2, 2) 
x = -2
y = 2
____
2 = (-2)</span>³ + 4 *(-2)² + 2 * (-2) - 2
2 = -8 + 4 * 4 + (-4) - 2
2 = -8 + 16 - 4 - 2
2 = 2
_____

Point 2: (-1, -1) 
x = -1
y = -1
____
-1 = (-1)³ + 4 *(-1)² + 2 * (-1) - 2
-1 = -1 + 4 * 1 + (-2) - 2
-1 = -1 + 4 - 2 - 2 
-1 = -1
____

Point 3: (1, 5) 
x = 1
y = 5
____
5 = (1)³ + 4 *(1)² + 2 * 1 - 2
5 = 1 + 4 * 1 + 2 - 2
5 = 1 + 4 + 2 - 2
5 = 5
____

Point 4: (3, 67) 
x = 3
y = 67
____
67 = (3)³ + 4 *(3)² + 2 * (3) - 2
67 = 27 + 4 * 9 + 6 - 2
67 = 27 + 36 + 6 - 2
67 = 67

So, line B passes through all choices.

Consider the line y=-5/9x+6
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

See below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the point-slope form of a straight line

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Here m = -5/9 , x1 = 9 and y1 = -3:, so

y - -3 = -5/9(x - 9)

y + 3 = -5/9x + 5

y = -5/9x + 2  is the equation parallel to the given line.

The  line perpendicular to the given line will have a slope of - 1 / -5/9

= 9/5 so its equation is

y  + 3 = 9/5(x - 9)

y = 9/5x - 81/5 - 3

y = 9/5x - 96/5 .

one leg of a right triangle has length 7. the lengths of the other two sides are whole numbers. the length of the other leg is ?
zalisa [80]
Sets of three integers that could be right triangles are called pythagorean triples. the only pythagorean triple including 7 is 7, 24, and 25. so the length of the other leg is 24 and the length of the hypotenuse is 25. hope this helped!
