Answer:

$0.70 per ear of corn

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c = Ear of corn

Let b = pound of bananas

First shopper:

7c + 6b = $5.15

Second Shopper:

4c + 1b = $1.85

Solve one equation for b since you are solving for c:

4c + 1b = $1.85

b = $1.85 - 4c

Substitute into other equation:

7c + 6b = $5.15    <---  b = $1.85 - 4c

7c + 6 ($1.85 - 4c) = $5.15

7c + $11.1 - 24c = $5.15

-17c + $11.1 <em>- $11.1</em> = $5.15 <em>- $11.1</em>

-17c <em>/-17</em> = -$11.85 <em>/-17</em>

c = $0.70 per ear of corn

What is 30=8+4(z-2) step by step?
Stolb23 [73]

30=8+4(z-2)

Distribute 4 through the parentheses

30=8+4z-8

Eliminate the opposites

30=4z

Swap the sides of the equation

4z=30

Divide both sides of the equation by 4

4z÷4=30÷4

Any expression divided by itself equals 1

z=30÷4

or write the division as a fraction

z=30/4

copy the numerator and denominator of the fraction

30=2x3x5

4=2x2

Write the prime factorization of 30

Write the prime factorization of 4

30=2          x3x5

4=2x2

    2

Line up the common factors in both lists

Copy the common factors

Since there is only one common factor, the common factor 2 is also the greatest common factor

30÷2/4÷2

  2

Divide 30 and 4 by the greatest common factor 2

15/4÷2

Divide the numbers in the numerator

15/2

Divide the numbers in the denominator

15/2

The simplified expression is 15/2

That's it. hope it wasn't too hard to understand?

Find the solution(s) to 22 +57-3 = 0. Check all that apply.
irakobra [83]

Answer:

x = -3 and x = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the solutions to

2x² + 5x - 3 = 0

we can use the quadratic formula, as follows:

x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2- 4(a)(c)}}{2(a)}

x = \frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{5^2- 4(2)(-3)}}{2(2)}

x = \frac{-5 \pm 7}{4}

x_1 = \frac{-5 + 7}{4}

x_1 = 0.5

x_2 = \frac{-5 - 7}{4}

x_2 = -3
