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.)

What is the volume of a cone-shaped popcorn cup that is 8 inches tall and 6 inches across at the base?
Alina [70]

The volume of cone shaped popcorn cup is 75.36 cubic inches.

According to the given question.

The height of the popcorn cup = 8inches

And the diameter of the cup = 6 inches

⇒ Radius of the popcorn cup = 6/2 = 3 inches

As we know that, the volume of cone is calculated by the formula

volume of cone = (πr^2h)/3

Therefore, the volume of cone shaped popcorn cup

= 3.14((3)^2)(8)/3

= 3.14(3)(8)

= 75.36 cubic inches

Hence, the volume of cone shaped popcorn cup is 75.36 cubic inches.

Solve fro the Equation below:<br><br> 7+2(x-3)=-3(x+1)-4
tester [92]
7 + 2x - 6 = -3x - 3 - 4
2x + 1 = -3x - 3 - 4
2x + 1 = -3x - 7
2x + 1 + 3x = -7
5x + 1 = -7
5x = -7 - 1
5x = -8
x = -8/5.

Find f'(x) for f(x)=cos^2(5x^3).
-BARSIC- [3]

d/dx cos^2(5x^3)

= d/dx [cos(5x^3)]^2

= 2[cos(5x^3)]

= - 2[cos(5x^3)] * sin(5x^3)

= - 2[cos(5x^3)] * sin(5x^3) * 15x^2

= - 30[cos(5x^3)] * sin(5x^3) * x^2

Explanation:

d/dx x^n = nx^(n - 1)

d/dx cos x = - sin x

Chain rule:

d/dx f(g(...w(x))) = f’(g(...w(x))) * g’(...w(x)) * ... * w’(x)
