Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

use distributive property: x^2+2x-1=4

remove the -1 by adding 1 on both sides: x^2+2x=5

use the guadratic fromula: ax²+bx+c=0

plug in the equation x^2+2x-5=0

a,b and c are the coefficients to plug into the formula

a=1, b=2, c=-1

Finally, you will find that x=2

creativ13 [48]

Using a system of equations, it is found that the unit prices are:

$2.25 for a bag of chips.

$1.50 for a liter of pop.

$1.75 for a chocolate bar.

For the system:

x is the unit price of a bag of chips.

y is the unit price of liter of pop.

z is the unit price for a chocolate bar.

From the table, the equations are:

$2x + 2y + z = 9.25$

$3x + 4y + z = 14.50$

$x + 3y + 3z = 12$

Replacing the <u>first equation on the second and the third:</u>

$z = 9.25 - 2x - 2y$

$3x + 4y + z = 14.50$

$3x + 4y + 9.25 - 2x - 2y = 14.50$

$x + 2y = 5.25$

$x = 5.25 - 2y$

$x + 3y + 3z = 12$

$x + 3y + 3(9.25 - 2x - 2y) = 12$

$-5x - 3y = -15.75$

$5x + 3y = 15.75$

Since $x = 5.25 - 2y$ :

$5(5.25 - 2y) + 3y = 15.75$

$-7y = -10.5$

$y = \frac{10.5}{7}$

$y = 1.5$

Then:

$x = 5.25 - 2y = 5.25 - 2(1.5) = 2.25$

$z = 9.25 - 2x - 2y = 9.25 - 2(2.25) - 2(1.5) = 1.75$

The unit prices are:

$2.25 for a bag of chips.

$1.50 for a liter of pop.

$1.75 for a chocolate bar.
