Answer:

1500 cans

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

In this problem Dennis can either bring cans to the supermarket or to the recycling center.

If Dennis brings cans to the supermarket, he'll earn 5 cents per can. That means that if Dennis brings c cans, he'll receive 0.05c dollars (as we're talking about cents, it'll be written as 0.05, not 5).

Dennis can also bring cans to the recycling center. He'll earn 6 cents there, but he needs to pay a $15 fee.

In that case, c cans will allow Dennis to earn 0.06c dollars, but as Dennis needs to pay $15 every time he goes to the recycling center, he'll be LOOSING $15. Hence, going to the recycling center will be 0.06c-15

We want to figure out how many cans Dennis will need to return to receive the same amount of money from both the supermarket and the recycling center. So that means that 0.05c will have to equal 0.06c-15 (it'll be the same amount of money).

That means as an equation:

0.05c=0.06c-15

Subtract 0.06c from both sides

-0.01c=-15

Divide both sides by -0.01

c=1500

You can plug 1500 as c in the equation to double check:

0.05(1500)=0.06(1500)-15

75=90-15

75=75

It works!

So Dennis will need to bring 1500 cans to get the same amount of money at both places

Hope this helps!

2. A(n) _______________ system is a system of equations with an infinite number of solutions.
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

If a system has infinitely many solutions, then the lines overlap at every point. In other words, they're the same exact line! This means that any point on the line is a solution to the system. Thus, the system of equations above has infinitely many solutions.

Which of the following is a perfect square trinomial?
yanalaym [24]
Your answer is D. 16x² - 56xy + 49y².

A perfect square trinomial is the result of a squared binomial, like (a + b)². Using this example, the perfect square trinomial would be a² + 2ab + b², as that is what you get when you expand the brackets.

Therefore, to determine which of these is a perfect square trinomial, we have to see if it can be factorised into the form (a + b)².

I did this by first square rooting the 16x² and 49y² to get 4x and 7y as our two terms in the brackets. We automatically know the answer isn't A or B as you cannot have a negative square number.

Now that we know the brackets are (4x + 7y)², we can expand to find out what the middle term is, so:

(4x + 7y)(4x + 7y)
= 16x² + (7y × 4x) + (7y × 4x) + 49y²
= 16x² + 28xy + 28xy + 49y²
= 16x² + 56xy + 49y².

So we know that the middle number is 56xy. Now we assumed that it was (4x + 7y)², but the same 16x² and 49y² can also be formed by (4x - 7y)², and expanding this bracket turns the +56xy into -56xy, forming option D, 16x² - 56xy + 49y².

I hope this helps!
