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

Solve the following:<br>a) 2(5x – 3) = 24<br>b) 5(2x + 1) = 50​
likoan [24]

Answer:

x = 3 and x = \frac{9}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

2(5x - 3) = 24 ( divide both sides by 2 )

5x - 3 = 12 ( add 3 to both sides )

5x = 15 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 3

(b)

5(2x + 1) = 50 ( divide both sides by 5 )

2x + 1 = 10 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

2x = 9 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = \frac{9}{2}

Someone please help me out I rlly need help

The equation that could be used to solve for x is (3x-1) = 140 and the value of x is 47°.

According to the question,

We have the following information:

We have two lines that are intersecting each other at a point. The angles made on this point are given.

Now, we know that these two angles are vertically opposite angles. And we also know that vertically opposite angles are equal.

So, we will have the following equation:

3x-1 = 140

Now, we can easily find the value of x from this equation:

Adding 1 on both sides of the equation:

3x = 140+1

3x = 141

Dividing by 3 on both sides:

x = 141/3

x = 47°

Hence, the equation that could be used to solve for x is (3x-1) = 140 and the value of x is 47°.

A pair of shoes is in a ‘35% off’ sale. The recommended retail price (RRP) is £86. How much do the shoes cost in the sale?
9966 [12]

Answer:

Without tax the shoes would cost £55.9.

Step-by-step explanation:

To get this you take the £86 and multiply it by 0.65 because with the 35% sale you are paying for 65% of the item. You get this number by subtracting 35 from 100 and convert it into a decimal.
