Set up your two equations:
<span>9x+7y=53 </span>
<span>3x+5y=25 </span>
<span>X=cost per pound of jelly bean </span>
<span>Y=cost per pound of trail mix </span>
<span>Multiply the second equation by (-3): </span>
<span>-9x-15y=-75 </span>
<span>+ 9x+7y=53 <---- copy first equation and add them </span>
<span>—————— </span>
<span>0x-8y=-22 </span>
<span>Then solve for y: </span>
<span>Y=2.76 this is your cost per pound of trail mix. </span>
<span>Then plug y back in to one of the original equations and solve for x: </span>
<span>3x+7(2.75)=25 </span>
<span>X=3.75 this is you cost per pound of jelly beans</span>
Hey!
Hope this helps...

Car #1: 300/43.2 = 6.9444 gallons
(Rounded) Car #2: 300/35.9 = 8.3565 gallons
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Rounded) Car #1: 6.9444*3.19 = $22.16 to re-fill their tank
(Rounded) Car #2: 8.3565*3.19 = $26.66 to re-fill their tank
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Rounded) Difference: $26.66 - 22.15 = $4.50
To re-fill Car 2's tank is approximately $4.50 more to re-fill Car 1's tank...
Answer:
y=-1.5x-4
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope intercept form is y=mx+b
Bring x over to the other side
2y=-8-3x
divide by 2
y=-4-1.5x
y=-1.5x-4 should be your equation in slope-intercept form
Sales increased 50% last year, from $5,000 to $10,000. When sales dropped from $10,000 to $5,000 this year, sales decreased 50%
Answer:
20 so the fractions would be 3/4=15/20 and 9/10=18/20
Step-by-step explanation:
