Mike and his friends bought cheese wafers for $2 per packet and chocolate wafers for $1 per packet at a carnival. They spent a total of $25 to buy a total of 20 packets of wafers of the two varieties.

Part A: Write a system of equations that can be solved to find the number of packets of cheese wafers and the number of packets of chocolate wafers that Mike and his friends bought at the carnival. Define the variables used in the equations. (5 points)

Part B: How many packets of chocolate wafers and cheese wafers did they buy? Explain how you got the answer and why you selected a particular method to get the answer. (5 points)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Part A)

Our system of equation is:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} 2x+y&=25\\x+y&=20\end{aligned}[/tex]

Where x represent the amount of cheese wafers bought and y represent the amount of chocolate wafers bought.

Part B)

Mike and his friends bought five cheese wafers and 15 chocolate wafers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cheese wafers be represented by x and let chocolate wafers be represented by y.

Part A)

They spent a total of $25. Since each cheese wafer cost $2 and each chocolate wafer cost $1, we can write that:

[tex]2x+1y=25[/tex]

Or, simply:

[tex]2x+y=25[/tex]

They also purchased a total of 20 packets of wafers. Hence:

[tex]x+y=20[/tex]

Our system of equation is:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} 2x+y&=25\\x+y&=20\end{aligned}[/tex]

Where x represent the amount of cheese wafers bought and y represent the amount of chocolate wafers bought.

Part B)

Since both equations have the same coefficient for y, we can use elimination. First, multiply the second equation by negative one:

[tex]-x-y=-20[/tex]

Add it to the first equation:

[tex](2x+y)+(-x-y)=(25)+(-20)[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]x=5[/tex]

So, five cheese wafers were bought.

Using the second equation again, we can see that:

[tex](5)+y=20\Rightarrow y=15[/tex]

So, 15 chocolate wafers were bought.

Notes:

If we wanted to solve this using substitution, we can subtract x (or y, doesn't really matter) from both sides from either equation. Using the second equation, this yields:

[tex]y=20-x[/tex]

Substitute this into the first:

[tex]2x+(20-x)=25[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]x=5[/tex]

And we will acquire the same answer:

[tex]y=20-(5)=15[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] - 5 + 2In(3x) = 5 \\ 2In(3x) = 5 + 5 \\ 2In(3x) = 10 \\ In(3x) = \frac{10}{2} \\ In(3x) = 5 \\ \implies \: 3x = {e}^{5} \\ \implies \: x = \frac{ {e}^{5} }{3} \\ x = \frac{148.41316}{3} \\ x = 49.4710533 \\ x \approx \: \boxed{49.471}[/tex]

Answer:

x= e^ 5 / 3 OR 49.471

Step-by-step explanation:

-5=2In (3x)=5

determine the defined range

-5+2In (3x) = 5, x>0

move the constant to the right- move the five to the right and change the sign

2In (3x)= 5+5

calculate- add them together

2In (3x)=10

divide both sides by 2

In (3x)=5

covert into exponential form ( x=e^5)

3x= e^5

divide both sides by 3

x=e^5/3 , x> 0

(check if the solution is in the defined range) which is the answer

A stationer fixes an equal rate of profit in his each item . If he sells a calculator costing Rs 700 for Rs 756 , how much should a customer pay for a novel book costing Rs 450 ?

Answers

Answer:

The customer should pay RS 506 for a novel book costing RS 450.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Selling price of calculator, S.P=RS 756

Cost of calculator, C.P=RS 700

We have to find S.P of novel book when the cost of novel book RS 450.

Profit=S.P-C.P

Profit=756-700

Profit=RS 56

Profit of each item is equal.

Therefore, profit for novel book=RS 56

C.P of novel book=RS 450

S.P=C.P+ Profit

Using the formula

S.P=450+56

S.P=RS 506

Hence, the customer should pay RS 506 for a novel book costing RS 450.

The volume of aright circular cone is 12 litres calculate the volume of the two parts into which the cone is divided by a plane parallel to the base a quarter of the way down from the vertex to the base

Answers

Answer:

the New Cone Volume is 0.1875 litres & the Volume of frustum is 11.8125 litres.

Step-by-step explanation:

According To Question,

We have Given A Right Circular Cone, Volume = 12 Litres .

Now, Let The Radius Of the base be r & the height be h .

Volume of Cone = 1/3×π×r²×h

thus, 1/3×π×r²×h=12

π×r²×h=36 → Equation. 1

Now, The new Cone is cut from the Plane Parallel to a base a quarter the way down from the vertex of the base. then the cone is cut at 1/4 from the base . So the Height of new Cone is h/r and the radius is r/4 .

Then, Volume Of new Cone=1/3×π×(r²/16)×(h/4)  ⇔ (Put Value From Equ. 1)

V= 12/64  ⇔ 0.1875 litres of new cone volume .

Then, the volume of Frustum = 12-0.1875 = 11.8125 litres

192 cubic inches

The volume of the pan, which is a right rectangular prism is length • width • height:
12 • 4 • 6 = 288 cubic inches.
That is also the volume of the water since the water is conpletely filled to the top.

If we have 1/3 of water left, that means 2/3 of the water was evaporated.

That means we will find 2/3 of the original volume of water (288 cubic inches):
2/3 x 288 = 192

How do you solve x^2+5x-14=0

Answers

Answer:

x = -7 , x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]x^2 + 5x -1 4= 0\\\\x^2 + 7x -2x - 14 = 0\\\\x(x + 7) -2(x + 7) = 0\\\\(x+7)(x-2) = 0\\\\x+ 7 = 0 , \ x - 2 = 0 \\\\x = - 7 , \ x = 2[/tex]

Answer:

x = - 7, x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve by factoring , that is

x² + 5x - 14 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 14) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 5)

The factors are + 7 and - 2 , since

7 × - 2 = - 14 and 7 - 2 = + 5 , then

(x + 7)(x - 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 7 = 0 ⇒ x = - 7

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (3,-5)(3,−5) and has a slope of \frac{2}{3}

Answers

Answer:

y = 2/3x - 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the point-slope form of a straight line:

y - y1 = m (x - x1) so we have

y -(-5) ) = 2/3 (x - 3)

y + 5 = 2/3x - 2

y = 2/3x - 7.

Answer:

y = 2/3x -7

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the equation of a line is

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 2/3 x +b

Substitute the point into the equation

-5 = 2/3 (3)+b

-5 = 2+b

Subtract 2 from each side

-7 = b

The equation of the line

y = 2/3x -7

Dianna made several loaves of bread yesterday. Each loaf required 2 and two-thirds cups of flour. All together, she used 13 and one-third cups of flour. How many loaves did Dianna make?

Answers

Answer:

5 loaves

Step-by-step explanation:

13 1/3 divided by 2 2/3 is 5 so the answer is 5 loaves.

Rewrite the fractions as improper fractions then divide the total amount used by the amount per loaf:

13 1/3 = 40/3

2 2/3 = 8/3

40/3 / 8/3

When dividing by a fraction flip the fraction over and multiply

40/3 x 3/8 = (40 x3) /( 3 x 8) = 120/24 = 5

She made 5 loaves of bread.

Answer:

y = 4x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given y varies directly with x then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 16 when x = 4 , then

16 = 4k ( divide both sides by 4 )

4 = k

y = 4x ← equation of variation

Given:

<ABC and <CBD are complementary angles and M<ABC = 35°

Prove:

M<CBD = 55°

It's given that <ABC and <CBD are ________.

So, m<ABC + m<CBD = 90° using the _______.

It is also given that m<ABC = 35°

Using substitution property of equality, you have ___ + m<CBD = 90°.

Therefore, using the subtraction property of equality, m<CBD = ___

Attached is an image of both angles.

Options to drag are;

Complementary angles, supplementary angles, definition of supplementary angles, definition of complementary angles, 35°, 55°, 90°

Answer:

It's given that <ABC and <CBD are __complementary angles___.

So, m<ABC + m<CBD = 90° using the __definition of complementary angles___.

It is also given that m<ABC = 35°

Using substitution property of equality, you have _35°_ + m<CBD = 90°.

Therefore, using the subtraction property of equality, m<CBD = _55°_

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, from angle properties, we know that the Sum of 2 Complementary angles is equal to 90°.

Thus, <ABC and <CBD are complementary angles.

Then;

m<ABC + m<CBD = 90° (using the definition of complementary angles as seen above).

It is also given that m<ABC = 35°

Now, Using substitution property of equality, we will have;

35°+ m<CBD = 90°

Subtract 35° from both sides to get;

35 - 35 + m<CBD = 90 -35

m<CBD = 55°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 8x + 16 = 7 ( subtract 16 from both sides )

x² + 8x = - 9

Using the method of completing the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to both sides

x² + 2(4)x + 16 = - 9 + 16

(x + 4)² = 7 ( take the square root of both sides )

x + 4 = ± [tex]\sqrt{7}[/tex] ( subtract 4 from both sides )

x = - 4 ± [tex]\sqrt{7}[/tex]

Then

solutions are x = - 4 - [tex]\sqrt{7}[/tex] , x = - 4 + [tex]\sqrt{7}[/tex]
