Answer:
$3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c represent the cost of a box of cereal and let m represent the cost of a jug of milk.
Create a system of equations:
2c + m = 8.5
3c + 2m = 14
Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by -2:
-4c - 2m = -17
3c + 2m = 14
Add them together and solve for c:
-c = -3
c = 3
So, a box of cereal costs $3
Answer:
pretty sure she did something wrong in the 1st step, it specifically said to do 6.1-4.5, but she changed the parathenesis, resulting in a different answer
Answer:
a) 0.2
b) 0.2
c) 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 
be the event "the car stops at the signal.
In the attached figure you can see a tree describing all possible scenarios.
For the first question the red path describes stopping at the first light but not stopping at the second. We can determine the probability of this path happening by multiplying the probabilities on the branches of the tree, thus
For the second one the blue path describes the situation
For the las situation the sum of the two green path will give us the answer
X^4 - 5x^2 - 36 = 0
(x^2 - 9)(x^2 + 4) = 0 - factor the left side
(x + 3)(x - 3)(x^2 + 4) = 0 - factor (x^2 - 9 as difference of squares)
x + 3 = 0 x - 3 = 0 x^2 + 4 = 0 Set each factor to 0 if any 0 the left side 0
x = -3 x = 3 x^2 = -4
x = 2i or -2i
The roots are 3, -3, 2i, -2i (Don't know if you need the imaginary roots but I gave you them anyway)
