Answer:

x = $0.85 per pound = 19.85 pounds

y = $2.70 per pound = 1.14 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = $0.85 per pound

y = $2.70 per pound

x + y = 21 (1)

0.85x + 2.70y = 19.95 (2)

From (1)

x = 21 - y

Substitute x = 21 - y into (2)

0.85x + 2.70y = 19.95 (2)

0.85(21 - y) + 2.70y = 19.95

17.85 - 0.85y + 2.70y = 19.95

- 0.85y + 2.70y = 19.95 - 17.85

1.85y = 2.1

y = 2.1 / 1.85

y = 1.14

Substitute y = 1.14 into (2)

0.85x + 2.70y = 19.95

0.85x + 2.70(1.14) = 19.95

0.85x + 3.078 = 19.95

0.85x = 19.95 - 3.078

0.85x = 16.872

x = 16.872 / 0.85

x = 19.85

x = $0.85 per pound = 19.85 pounds

y = $2.70 per pound = 1.14 pounds

If <br> B is the midpoint of AC, AB=x+6 and AC=5x-6, then what is BC?
nikklg [1K]

If B is the midpoint of AC, then AB=BC. It is also BC=AC-AB

AB = x + 6

AC = 5x - 6

BC = (5x - 6) - (x + 6)

We can kinda use distributive property, like this:

BC = 5x - 6 -x - 6

Combine like terms:

BC = 4x - 12

To verify, we can add AB and BC to see if their sum is equal to AC.

(x + 6) + (4x - 12) = 5x - 6

If we are correct, this equation will be true.

x + 6 + 4x - 12 = 5x - 6

Combine like terms:

6 + 5x - 12 = 5x - 6

5x - 6 = 5x - 6

It's correct!

BC = 4x - 12. Final Answer.

Let me know if you have any questions about this! :)

Write an algebraic expression that represents each purchase.
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer: Both answers will be

15x+18

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Cost of soccer balls = $15

Cost of baseball = $6

Cost of sweat socks = $5

a) Mr. Tonkery bought x number of soccer balls and 3 base balls .

So, our algebraic expression will be

15x+3\times 6\\\\=15x+18

b) Dennis, Eddie and Felix are on a base ball team. They each bought a baseball and x pair of sweat socks .

Since there are 3 members in a base ball team ,

Number of base ball they will purchase is given by

3\times 6=18

Number of sweat socks they will bought is given by

5\times x\times 3=15x

Total number they will purchase is given by

15x+18

Hence, both answers will be

15x+18
