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

Convert 7500cm to meters
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer: 75 meters

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we're asked to convert 7,500 centimeters into meters which means we use the conversion factor for centimeters and meters.

Conversion factor ⇒ <em>100 centimeters = 1 meter</em>

Next, notice that we're converting from a smaller unit "centimeters" to a larger unit "meters" and when we convert from a smaller unit to a larger unit we divide by the conversion factor.

So we divide 7,500 by the conversion factor which is 100.

7,500 ÷ 100 = 75

Therefore, 7,500 centimeters = 75 meters.

Help please -19 + 2z = -21
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

z = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

You must first start out by adding 19 to both sides to isolate the variable z, which results in:

2z = -2

Now, you can just divide by two on both sides to get z completely on its own, which gives you:

z = -1

Hope this helped somewhat! :D
