We will need to use a systems of linear equations here. Firstly, we will use x for cans of peas and y for cans of corn. This is kind of difficult to explain, but basically, our first equation is going to be the amount x and y costs. Therefore, 0.85x + 0.78y = 6.59. This works because we need to find out how much cans she bought of each.

Next, we know that she for 2 more cans of peas than cans of corn. We can use the equation, 2 + y = x, to represent this situation. This is because she purchased two more cans of peas, so we add 2 to y (cans of corn).

Our equations are: 0.85x + 0.78y = 6.59, 2 + y = x

Franco's Pizza is selling their pizzas 35% cheaper than usual if a pizza normally cost $12 how much is it now
avanturin [10]

Answer:

New or current cost = 12 - 4.2 = $7.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Franco's Pizza is selling their pizzas 35% cheaper than usual. This is a discount on the normal cost. To get the amount it costs now, we will find the percentage of the discount on the original cost and subtract what we get from the original cost.

Discount = 35℅

Original cost of pizza is $12 (if a pizza normally cost $12).

So the discount in terms of dollars

= ℅ discount / 100 × normal cost of pizza

= 35 / 100 × 12 =0.35 × 12 = $4.2

New or current cost of pizza would be normal or original cost - the discount in dollars.

New or current cost = 12 - 4.2 = $7.8

The events A and B are mutually exclusive. If ​P(A)=0.1 and ​P(B)=0.4​, what is​ P(A or​ B)? ASAP
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Given that the events A and B are mutually exclusive.

P(A) = 0.1

P(B) = 0.4

Mutually Exclusive Events: When two events are Mutually Exclusive it is impossible for them to happen together i.e

If A and B are two events then; P(A and B) = 0

then;

P(A or B) = P(A) +P(B)

By the definition of mutually exclusive events;

P(A or B) = P(A) +P(B)                     ......[1]

Substitute the values of P(A) = 0.1 and P(B) = 0.4 in [1] we have;

P(A or B) = P(A) +P(B) = 0.1+0.4 = 0.5

Which is not an equation of the line that passes through the points (1, 1) and (5, 5)?
maria [59]

(1,\ 1)\to x_1=1,\ y_1=1\to x_1=y_1\\\\(5,\ 5)\to x_2=5,\ y_2=5\to x_2=y_2\\\\\text{Therefore we have the equation}\ y=x\\\\\text{subtract y from both sides}\\\\\boxed{x-y=0\to\boxed{B}}\to\boxed{y-x=0\to\boxed{A.}}\\\\Answer:\ C.\ -x-y=0

50 POINTS PLEASE SOLVE CORRECTLY!! How do you solve these 2 problems?
Andrew [12]
Ok, so abc is a 3 digit number

easy

if we do
abc=x
then we have
750-x=x
add x to both sides
750=2x
divide both sides by 2
375=x
abc=375

check
750-375=375

correct


abc=375
0.abc=0.375


0.abc=0.375
that was fun
