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

Been a while since I’ve needed to not use a calculator. Why is -2X10^-18 (3/16) = 4.09X10^-19?
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

2.18*10^{-18}(\frac{3}{16})

we have that

\frac{3}{16}=0.1875

Convert to scientific notation

0.1875=1.875*10^{-1}

substitute

2.18*10^{-18}(1.875*10^{-1}})

Remember that

To multiply two numbers in scientific notation, multiply their coefficients and add their exponents

2.18*10^{-18}1.875*10^{-1}}=(2.18*1.875)*10^{(-18-1)}=4.0875*10^{-19}

Round the number 4.0875 two decimal places

so

4.0875*10^{-19}=4.09*10^{-19}

The cost of labor for servicing cars at B&amp;B Automotive is $50 for each whole hour or for any fraction of an hour. There is a
Masja [62]

Answer:

<h2>d. $250</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the equation of a straight line to model the cost of servicing the car.

let the cost be y and the number of hours be x

and the charge per hour is m

y=mx+c

y=50x+25

given that the time is 3.45 hours it is assumed that the charge is for 4 hours since for a fraction of 0.45 hours we are charged $50

y=50(4)+25

y=200+25

y=$225

Dave won a hot dog eating contest by eating 18 hot dogs in 10 minutes. He ate two more than twice the amount of the runner-up. W
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The correct anser is option

B. 2x + 2 = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hot dogs eaten by the runner up be represented by x

If Dave ate 2 more than twice x, this means that the number eaten by him = 2x + 2

Since the total number of hot dogs eaten by Dave is 18

Therefore, the equation will be

2x + 2 = 18

So the number of hot dogs eaten by the runner-up is determined by solving for x

2x= 18-2

2× = 16

x = 16/2

x = 8

The runner up are 8

While Dave are

2×8 + 2 = 18.

madreJ [45]

Answer:

n^{3} + 15n^{2} + 56n

Step-by-step explanation:

First FOIL  (n + 7)(n + 8) and then distribute n

(n + 7)(n + 8) = n^{2} +15n + 56

 n (n^{2} +15n + 56)

= n^{3} + 15n^{2} + 56n
