Given that <span>a bag contains 26 tiles marked with the
letters A through Z.
The probability of picking a letter from the name JACK is 4 / 26
The probability of picking a letter from the name BEN is 3 / 26.
Therefore, the probability of picking a letter from
the name JACK or from the name BEN iis given by 4 / 26 + 3 / 26 = 7 / 26 </span>
Cost of milk per carton = $ 70 cents = 70/100 = $0.7
Cost of bread per loaf = $60 cents = 60/100 = $0.6
Cost of cereals per box = $50 cents = 50/100 = $0.5
Cost of meat per pound = $1.50
If x is the number of cartons of milk bought, then
Number of loafs = x/2
Number pf boxes of cereals = x/2 +1
Number of pounds of meat = x/2 +1
Therefore,
0.7*x + 0.6*x/2 + 0.5 (x/2+1) + 1.5 (x/2+1) = 10
0.7x + 0.3x + 0.25x + 0.5 + 0.75x + 1.5 = 10
2x + 2 =10
2x = 8
x = 4
Substituting;
Milk cartons = 4
Number of bread = 4/2 = 2
Boxes of cereals = 2+1 = 3
Pounds of meat = 3
Take note that they spent $18 afterwards having $28 on the card so they're spending money off the card so...
x-18=28
would be the equation for this and to solve do the following.
First add 18 to both sides making the equation.
x=46

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define systems</u>
y = x + 1
3x + 3y = -9
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
<em>Substitution</em>
- Substitute in <em>y</em>: 3x + 3(x + 1) = -9
- Distribute 3: 3x + 3x + 3 = -9
- Combine like terms: 6x + 3 = -9
- Isolate <em>x</em> term: 6x = -12
- Isolate <em>x</em>: x = -2
<u>Step 3: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>
- Define original equation: y = x + 1
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: y = -2 + 1
- Add: y = -1
<u>Step 4: Graph systems</u>
<em>Check the solution set.</em>
