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! :)

Hey 1200 seat theater sells two types of tickets for a concert. premium seats sell for $30 each and regular seats so for $20 eac
STatiana [176]
X = premium seats
y = regular seats
You need two equations: (x + y - 10 = 1200) and (30x + 20y = 30,180)
1.) Isolate one variable
y = 1,210 - x
2.) Plug the new equation into the second ORIGINAL equation
30x +20(1,210 - x) = 30,180
3.) Ditribute
30x + 24,200 - 20x = 30,180
4.) Add like terms
10x + 24,200 = 30,180
5.) Subtract 24,000 from either side
10x = 6,180
6.) Solve for x
x = 618
7.) Plug in x to the equation of your choosing
618 + y - 10 = 1200
8.) Solve for y
608 + y = 1,200
y = 592
The theater sold 592 regular seats and 618 premium seats.

Find the answer pleaseeee...<br><br>-15/9 + 9/4 = ? <br><br>Please find what the question mark is​
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

-15/9+9/4

We need to make them have the same denominator:

9x4= 36 so that is our new denominator

-15x4= -60

9x9=81

(Sorry if i dont make sense)

Now we have -60/36+81/36 which is equal to 21/36.

Now we simplify:

21/36=7/12
