Answer:$2

Step-by-step explanation:Express as two equations . Lex x Be chocolate and y be cookies.

3x+2y=22

2x+3y= 18

Common factor of 6 so times first ran by 2, second ran by 3 . Eliminate.

Answer:

$2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of a chocolate and a cookie be $x and $y respectively.

Using the given information, form 2 equations and label them.

3x +2y= 22 -----(1)

2x +3y= 18 -----(2)

Now let's try to multiply both equations by a certain integer, such that the coefficient of x in both equations are the same. This allows us to eliminate the x term through subtraction.

(1) ×2:

6x +4y= 44 -----(3)

(2) ×3:

6x +9y= 54 -----(4)

(4) -(3):

6x +9y -(6x +4y)= 54 -44

Expand, simplify:

6x +9y -6x -4y= 10

5y= 10

Dividing both sides by 5:

y= 10 ÷5

y= 2

Thus, a cookie costs $2.

Note:

• Since we are only trying to find the value of y (cost of cookie), it is faster to eliminate the x term.

• If the signs of the coefficient of the term is opposite (e.g. -6 and 6), we can eliminate the term through addition.

Example:

-6x +4y= 44 -----(1)

6x +9y= 54 -----(2)

(1) +(2):

-6x +4y +6x +9y= 44 +54

13y= 98

y= 98 ÷13

y= 7.54 (3 s.f.)

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

30.17feet high

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following

the distance from the base of the pole to the tip of the shadow = 49feet (hypotenuse)

angle of elevation = 38°

Required

Height of the flagpole (opposite)

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity

Sin theta = opposite/hypotenuse

Sin 38 = H/49

H = 49sin38

H = 49(0.6157)

H = 30.17feet

Hence the flagpole is 30.17feet high

How can you tell if an inequality will have a solid line
Virty [35]

Answer:

b. the symbol has or equal to

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

When does an inequality have a solid line

The question is pretty straightforward and the answer is (b) which means that when the symbol has or equal to.

This implies that, the symbol could be:

> or = i.e. \ge

and it could also be:

< or = i.e. \le

Take for instance:

x + 1 \ge 2 and y- 5\le 10

<em>The above expressions will have a solid line</em>

The perimeter of the square can be represented by the expression 36x+44 robin wants to write an equivalent expression for the pe
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

4  (9 x + 11) is an equivalent expression for the perimeter that shows the side length of the square is  (9 x + 11).

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, given The perimeter of the square  = (36 x+44)

Now,as we know :

PERIMETER OF SQUARE = 4 x ( SIDES)

Simplifying the perimeter expression.

Take 4 common out of the expression (36 x+44), we get:

(36 x+44) =  4 (9 x + 11)

⇒ Perimeter of the square  =  4 x  (9 x + 11)

⇒4 x ( SIDES) = 4 x (9 x + 11)

⇒ Each Side = (9 x + 11)

Hence, 4 x (9 x + 11) is an equivalent expression for the perimeter that shows the side length of the square is  (9 x + 11).
