Answer:

  • Walnuts - $1.25, chocolate chips - $3.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let walnuts = x, chocolate chips = y

<u>Set a system and solve:</u>

  • 3x + 5y = 20
  • 6x + 2y = 14

<u>Double the first equation and subtract the second one from it:</u>

  • 6x + 10y - 6x - 2y = 40 - 14
  • 8y = 26
  • y = 26/8
  • y = 3.25

<u>Find the value of x:</u>

  • 6x + 3.25*2 = 14
  • 6x = 14 - 6.5
  • 6x = 7.5
  • x = 7.5/6
  • x = 1.25

The slope would be 1/2. Slope is rise/run. Your rise would be 2. And your run would be 4. 2/4. And that simplified is 1/2. Do I need to explain more? Or do you get it? I would be glad to assist

This hyperbola is centered at theorigin. Find its equation.Foci: (-2,0) and (2,0)Vertices: (-1,0) and (1,0)
beks73 [17]

SOLUTION

From the question, the center of the hyperbola is

\begin{gathered} (h,k),\text{ which is } \\ (0,0) \end{gathered}

a is the distance between the center to vertex, which is -1 or 1, and

c is the distance between the center to foci, which is -2 or 2.

b is given as

\begin{gathered} b^2=c^2-a^2 \\ b^2=2^2-1^2 \\ b=\sqrt[]{3} \end{gathered}

But equation of a hyperbola is given as

\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}-\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1

Substituting the values of a, b, h and k, we have

\begin{gathered} \frac{(x-0)^2}{1^2}-\frac{(y-0)^2}{\sqrt[]{3}^2}=1 \\ \frac{x^2}{1}-\frac{y^2}{3}=1 \end{gathered}

Hence the answer is

\frac{x^2}{1}-\frac{y^2}{3}=1

Write and solve an equation.
kompoz [17]
You need to find the length of each side by doing 132÷4 which equals 33. Then to find the area you do 33×33 which equals 1,089. So yes, the area is over 1,000.
