Let the cost of one pound of candy be x and one pound of mint be y.
3x+2y=10.8 a
x+3y = 5.35 b
B*3 = 3x+9y = 16.05 b
b-a = 7y = 16.05-10.8= 5.25
y = 5.25/7 = 0.75
The cost per pound of mints is $0.75
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
because we just multiply the bottom equation by - and we eliminate 7y. now we have -2x=-10 to get x we divide -10 by -2 and get the answer
Answer: The first equation is an equation of a parabola. The second equation is an equation of a line.
Explanation:
The first equation is,

In this equation the degree of y is 1 and the degree of x is 2. The degree of both variables are not same. Since the coefficients of y and higher degree of x is positive, therefore it is a graph of an upward parabola.
The second equation is,

In this equation the degree of x is 1 and the degree of y is 1. The degree of both variables are same. Since both variables have same degree which is 1, therefore it is linear equation and it forms a line.
Therefore, the first equation is an equation of a parabola. The second equation is an equation of a line.
