Answer:Walnuts cost $1.25 and chocolate chips cost $3.25
Step-by-step explanation: Make walnuts x and chocolate chips y.
3x+5y=20
6x+2y=14
Multiply the first equation by 2 and then subtract it from the second.
-(6x+10y=40)
6x+2y=14
-8y=-26
y=3.25
Plug y back into either equation and isolate x to solve for x.
6x+2(3.25)=14
6x+6.5=14
6x=7.5
x=1.25
Answer:
N = 52 * (9/7)^(t/1.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem can be modelated as an exponencial problem, using the formula:
N = Po * (1+r)^(t/1.5)
Where P is the final value, Po is the inicial value, r is the rate and t is the amount of time.
In our case, we have that N is the final number of branches after t years, Po = 52 branches, r = 2/7 and t is the number of years since the beginning (in the formula we divide by 1.5 because the rate is defined for 1.5 years)
Then, we have that:
N = 52 * (1 + 2/7)^(t/1.5)
N = 52 * (9/7)^(t/1.5)
I got x=2.64 or x=1.32 i don't know if i done it right
Anything greater than 1/2 can be shown as >1/2
Answer:
1. x = -7
2. x = 6/13
3. x = 7/12
Step-by-step explanation:
1. x = 21 / -3
x = -7
2. 13x = 6
x = 6 / 13
x = 6/13
3. -12x = -7
x = -7 / -12
x = 7/12
