Answer:
0.95, 2.15
Step-by-step explanation:
cookie-x
ice bar-y
7x+2y=10.95 (*3)
4x+3y=10.25 (*2)
21x+6y=32.85
8x+6y=20.5
21x-8x=32.85-20.5=12.35
13x=12.35
x=0.95
2y=10.95-7*0.95=4.3
y=2.15

Answer:
d
Step-by-step explanation:
because its a whole number as in the square root is 4
Answer:
x ≠ 4 or -2
Step-by-step explanation:
the denominator cannot be zero, so factor the bottom equation to get the zeros and those are the domain restrictions.
3x^2 - 6x - 24 ≠ 0
3(x^2 - 2x - 8) ≠ 0 (factor out a 3)
3(x - 4)(x + 2) ≠ 0 (factor equation)
x ≠ 4, x ≠ -2 (use zero product property to find zeros)
Answer: old McDonald has 54 chickens and 2 cows.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of chickens that old McDonald have.
Let y represent the number of cows that old McDonald have.
He counted 56 heads. A chicken and a cow has one head each. It means that
x + y = 56
He counted 116 legs. A chicken has 2 legs and a cow has 4 legs. It means that
2x + 4y = 116 - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 56 - y into equation 1, it becomes
2(56 - y) + 4y = 116
112 - 2y + 4y = 116
- 2y + 4y = 116 - 112
2y = 4
y = 4/2 = 2
x = 56 - y = 56 - 2
x = 54
