Mathematics

8 0

Answer:

Snickerdoodles are 0.22$ each and chocolate chip are 0.43$ each

Step-by-step explanation:

using the information in the problem, you can make 2 separate equations: 8x+12y=6.92 and 5x+5y=3.25, let x= the cost of a snickerdoodle and y= the cost of a chocolate chip cookie.

With the 2 equations, we can isolate the y variable of the first equation and simplify which will give us y= -2/3x +6.92/12.

You can now take that equation and plug it into equation number 2:

5x+5(-2/3x + 6.92/12)=3.25.

solve that equation by multiplying 5 through the brackets: 5x-10/3x+34.6/12=3.25

add common terms: 5/3x=4.4/12

find the value of x, you will get x=0.22

plug the value of x (0.22) into one of your equations and solve for the y-value

Find three consecutive integers whose sum is 57????
Setler79 [48]

Answer:18 19 20

Step-by-step explanation:"Consecutive"  means that the integers will follow each other in value, for example:  1, 2, 3 or 4, 5, 6.  Also, no decimals are needed here because "integers" are whole, counting numbers. Here is the set up:   Let x= the first integer     Then    X+1= 2nd consecutive integer   and x+2= 3rd  .  

Suppose that x=1   x+1= 1+1=2   and x+2=1+2=3   However, you need specific consecutive numbers whose sum is 57.  Remember that sum means to add:

x+  (x+1)  + (x+2) = 57                 Addition of all 3 consecutive numbers   Now solve for x

                                                   and substitute into each part to come up with the three integers:

3x + 3= 57        3x=54               x=54/3  =  18            x=18,   x+1= 18+1=19      x+2=18+2=20

Check your answer:  18+19+20=57                 57=57  Check
