Answer:
- Walnuts cost $1.75, chocolate chips cost $2.75
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Let the costs be:</h3>
- Walnuts - x
- Chocolate chips - y
<h3>Set equations as per question</h3>
For 7 pounds of walnuts and 9 pounds of chocolate chips, the total cost is $37:
For 5 pounds of walnuts and 3 pounds of chocolate chips, the total cost is $17:
<h3>Solve the system by elimination</h3>
Multiply the second equation by 3 and subtract the first equation, solve for x:
- 3(5x + 3y) - (7x + 9y) = 3(17) - 37
- 15x + 9y - 7x - 9y = 51 - 37
- 8x = 14
- x = 14/8
- x = 1.75
Find the value of y:
- 7*1.75 + 9y = 37
- 12.25 + 9y = 37
- 9y = 37 - 12.25
- 9y = 24.75
- y = 24.75/9
- y = 2.75
Let the fist integer be x, the second is x+20
the product of the numbers is:
x(x+20)
the sum of the numbers is:
x+x+20=2x+20
the sum of the above operations will give us:
2x+20+x^2+20x=95
x^2+22x+20=95
this can be written as quadratic to be:
x^2+22x-75=0
solving the above we get:
x=3 and x=-25
but since the integers should be positive, then x=3
the second number is x+20=3+20=23
hence the numbers are:
3 and 23

we'll do the same as before, turning the mixed fractions to improper and do the division, keeping in mind that is simply asking how many times 1⅕ goes into 8⅔.
