For this problem, we can use systems of equations. I will use the variables <em>x </em> (for ice-cream) and <em>y</em> (for soda). We get the system:
2.25x+0.75y=30.00
x+y=18
Putting the second equation in terms of y, we get that y=-x+18. We can substitute this into our first equation.
2.25x+0.75y=30.00
becomes
2.25x+0.75(-x+18)=30
Solving for x, we get that x=11. This satisfies answer B.
However, if you want to check to see if this is correct, you could find y by plugging in your value of x into the first equation, then check to see if your found values satisfy BOTH equations.
2.25(11)+0.75y=30
24.75+0.75y=30
0.75y=5.25
y=7
Then we plug this into both equations to see if they are true.
2.25(11)+0.75(7)=30
24.75+5.25=30
30=30 (This is true)
x+y=18
11+7=18
18=18 (This is true).
Both equations are true, so the value for x and y are correct. We see that only answer B is supported through analyzing your work.

X = -126/5 or -25.2 or -25 1/5
Answer:
0.3157
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that according to a certain news poll, 71% agreed that it should be the government's responsibility to provide a decent standard of living for the elderly,
Let A be the event that it should be the government's responsibility to provide a decent standard of living for the elderly, and B the event that it would be a good idea to invest part of their Social Security taxes on their own
P(B) = 41%=0.41
A and B are independent
Hence P(both)=
the probability that a person agreed with both propositions
= Probability for both A and B
= P(A) P(B) since A and B are independent
= 0.3157
