Erika $21
3k of cinnamon
1g of gummies

Irene $39
3k of cinnamon
3k of gummies

c= cost of 1 kilogram of cinnamon
g= cost of 1 kilogram of gummies

Erika's Equation
3c + 1g= $21

Irene's Equation
3c + 3g= $39

Solve for one variable in equation one and substitute it in the other equation.

3c + 1g= 21
subtract 3c from both sides
g= 21 - 3c

Substitute g=21 - 3c in equation
3c + 3g= $39
3c + 3 (21 - 3c)= 39
multiply all in parentheses
3c + 63 - 9c= 39
63 - 6c= 39
subtract 63 from both sides
-6c= -24
c= $4

Substitute c=4 in equation to find g
3c + g= 21
3(4) + g= 21
12 + g= 21
subtract 12 from both sides
g= $9

ANSWER: The price of 1 kilogram of cinnamon red hots is $4. The cost of 1 kilogram of gummies is $9.

Hope this helps! :)

1 = 3n+4

Subtract 4 from both sides

-3 = 3n

Divide by 3

5z ^ 3 - 2z ^ 4 - 9z ^ 2 + z What is the degree of the polynomial ?
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For any polynomial, we can determine the degree by finding the variable with the largest exponent. For the given polynomial:

5z^{3} - 2z^{4} -9z^{2} + z

we can see that -2z^{4} contains the variable with the highest exponent, 4, so the degree of this polynomial is 4.

A baker has 8 5/8 cups of flour to make cupcakes. The baker used all of his flour to make 3 5/6 dozen cupcakes. How many cups of
frozen [14]

Answer: 1 dozen cupcakes can be made in 12 cups of flour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The amount of flour a baker has = 8\dfrac{5}{8}\text{ cups}= \dfrac{8\times8+5}{8}\text{ cups}

=\dfrac{69}{8}\text{ cups}

The number of cupcakes he made by using all flour = 3\dfrac{5}{6}=\dfrac{6\times3+5}{6}=\dfrac{23}{6}

i.e. \dfrac{23}{6} cupcakes made in \dfrac{69}{8} cups of flour

By unitary method ,

1 cupcake made in \dfrac{69}{8}\times\dfrac{6}{23}  cups of flour.

i.e. 1 cupcake made in \dfrac{9}{4}  cups of flour.

Then , 12 cupcakes can be made in 12\times\dfrac{9}{4}  cups of flour.

= 27 cups of flour.

Since<em> 1 dozen = 12</em>

Then , 1 dozen cupcakes can be made in 12 cups of flour.
