Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's convert this statement into a system of two equations
3 * (cost of a liter of milk) + 5 * (cost of a loaf of bread) = $11
4 * (cost of a liter of milk) + 5 * (cost of a loaf of bread) = $10
cost of a liter of milk = x
cost of a loaf of bread = y
3x + 5y = 11
4x + 4y = 10
You can now solve this using either substitution or elimination
I'll use elimination. Let's say I want to get rid of the x first. I need to choose numbers to multiply by the top and bottom equations to eliminat the x's. The easiest way to do this is to multiply them by each other. So we'll multiply the top by 4 and the bottom by 3. We'll need to make sure the signs are opposite as well so I'll make that a negative 3 on the bottom.
4 * (3x + 5y = 11)
-3 * (4x + 4y = 10)
12x + 20y = 44
-12x - 12y = -30
Now add straight down
0x + 8y = 14
8y = 14
y = 14/8 = $1.75
Now we can plug this back in to either equation to find the x. I'll choose the second equation
4x + 4*(1.75) = 10
4x + 7 = 10
4x = 3
x = 3/4 = $0.75
So, cost of a liter of milk = x = $0.75
and cost of a loaf of bread = y = $1.75
Well D=8.5C so divide 68 by 8.5 (answer is 8)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y^2 -x^2=
y^2=9^2=81
x^2=2^2=4
81-4=77
Answer:
54 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
lets work in steps here:
1 in (24 miles) + 1 in (24 miles) = 2 in OR 48 miles
PLUS
**0.25 in (6 miles)
= 48+6 miles = 54 miles
** you know that 0.25=6 miles because 24/6 is 4. 100/4 is 0.25. simple division.
