Answer:
C. $16.60
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost per pound of salmon be represented by x
The cost per pound of swordfish be represented by y
Melissa buys 2 1/2 pounds of salmon and 1 1/4 pounds of swordfish. She pays a total of $31.25
2.5 × x + 1.25× y = $31.25
2.5x + 1.25y = 31.25
The swordfish costs $0.20 per pound less than the salmon.
y = x - 0.20
Hence, we substitute
2.5x + 1.25y = 31.25
2.5y + 1.25(x - 0.20) = 31.25
2.5y + 1.25x - 0.25 = 31.25
2.5x + 1.25x = 31.25 + 0.25
3.75x = 31.5
x = 31.5/3.75
x = $8.4
The cost per pound of salmon be represented by x = $8.4
y = x - 0.20
y = 8.4 - 0.20
y = $8.2
The cost per pound of swordfish be represented by y = $8.2
The cost of a pound of salmon and sword fish
= $8.4 + $8.2
=$16.60
Answer: −1−3k
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute:
(−3+4k)−1(−2+7k)
(-3+4k)+{2-7k}
Eliminate redundant parentheses:
(−3+4k)+2−7k
-3+4k+2-7k
Add the numbers:
−3+4k+2−7k
−1+4k−7k
Add the same term to both sides of the equation:
−1+4k−7k
−1−3k
First you have to put like terms together:
bf+af+be+ae
Now you factor the first two terms and then the two last terms:
f(b+a)+e(b+a)
Now you factor even further. By putting what is in parentheses by what is outside the parentheses:
(b+a)(f+e)
What you got is correct as mine is too. I hope this formula helps for future problems:
ax+bx+ac+bc=x(a+b)+c(a+b)
=(a+b)(x+c)
Answer:
2/7
Step-by-step explanation:
7 balls in a box 3 are red and 2 are yellow and 1 is white what is the probability of find a yellow ball?
25, 65, and y make a right triangle. use a^2 + b^2 =c^2.
so...
y^2 + 25^2 = 65^2
y^2 + 625 = 4225
y^2 = 3600 take the square root of both sides
y=60
