Judy is selling small candles at the fair for $4 each and large candles for $6 each. She collected $144 selling a
total of 28 candles. How many of each candle did she sell? Use x for the small candles and y for the large
candles.

Answers

Answer 1
12 small candles, 16 large candles.

HOW TO SOLVE

Let x = the number of small candles sold
Let y = the number of large candles sold

You are given two pieces of information:

(1) Number of candles sold: x + y = 28
(2) Revenue based on cost per candles sold: 4x + 6y = 144

Two equations, two unknowns - Solving by substitution (x = 28 - y)

4 * (28-y) + 6y = 144
112 - 4y + 6y = 144
112 + 2y = 144
2y = 32
y = 16

If y = 16, back substitute to find x = 12

Double check using revenue generated:

4x + 6y = 144
4(12) + 6(16) =? 144
48 + 96 = 144

What should be subtracted from -8xy + 2x^2 + 3y^2 to get x^2 + 2

Answers

Answer:

x^2 - 8xy + 3y^2 - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(-8xy + 2x^2 + 3y^2) - unknown = x^2 + 2

- unknown = x^2 + 2 + 8xy - 2x^2 - 3y^2

- unknown = -x^2 + 8xy - 3y^2 + 2

Unknown = x^2 - 8xy + 3y^2 - 2

Check:

(-8xy + 2x^2 + 3y^2) - (x^2 - 8xy + 3y^2 - 2)

= -8xy + 2x^2 + 3y^2 - x^2 + 8xy - 3y^2 + 2

= -8xy + 8xy + 2x^2 - x^2 + 3y^2 - 3y^2 + 2

= x^2 + 2

By using regression line calculator,

Equation of the regression line from the data given,

y = -0.38993x + 26.95184

Here, y = weekly hours of sport

x = Time to run

For x = 50 minutes,

y = -0.38993(50) + 26.95184

  = 7.45534

  ≈ 8

Since, slope of the given regression line is negative, correlation will be negative (n).

Answers

Answer:

6.7cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We apply Pythagoras Theorem twice.

First we find out the diagonal of the base of the cuboid.

The diagonal of the base = sqrt (2^2+4^2) = sqrt (20).

Then we find out AB by applying Pythagoras Theorem.

AB^2 = 5^2 + [sqrt (20)]^2

AB^2 = 45

AB = 6.7cm (correct to 1 decimal place)

rewrite each of the following equations in y= mc + b form

Answers

Answer: y=-1x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to: Move the 'X' to the right side of the equation.

The second step is to: Divide the 'Y'

But since the 'X' is already on the right side you will just divide the 'Y'. If the 'X' was on the left then you will follow those steps that I gave you at the beginning in order to get it in the y=mx+b.  

So it will look like this:

2y=-1x-8

y=-1x-8

y= -1(is the slope)x-8(is the Y-intercept)

So, if you have to graph this you will graph it starting with negative 8 as the y-intercept. Then you will go down one and over 1.

You're planning on making 7 meatloafs for a party. You go to the store to buy breadcrumbs, and see they are sold by the canister. How many canisters do you need to buy? First, determine what information you need to answer this question, then click here to display that info (along with other info). How much breadcrumbs does the recipe call for? It calls for 1 1/4 cups of breadcrumbs. How many meatloafs does the recipe make? It makes 1 meatloaf. How many people can 1 meatloaf feed? It says it serves 8. How big is the canister? It is cylindrical, 3.5 inches across and 7 inches tall. What is the net weight of the contents of 1 canister? 15 ounces. How much does a canister cost? $2.19 How much does a cup of breadcrumbs weigh? I'm not sure, but maybe something from the nutritional label will help. Nutritional label showing the serving size is 1/3 cup (30g), and there are about 14 servings per container.

Answers

Let's first find out how much breadcrumbs we're going to need:
1 3/4 cups → 7/4 cups per meatloaf
7 cups/4 * 1 meatloaf * 7 meatloafs = 49/4 cups of breadcrumbs needed in total.

Now let's find out how many cups are in a canister:
1/3 * 14 = 14/3 cups (we're given 1/3 a cup is a single serving size, and each canister holds about 14 servings)

Here's the algebraic way of solving:
14/3 n ≥ 49/4, where n is the number of canisters needed. I'm using ≥ because we cannot buy only part of a canister. Multiply both sides by 3/14:
14/3 n * 3/14 ≥ 49/4 * 3/14
We can factor out a 7:
n ≥ 7/4 * 3/2
n ≥ 21/8 → 2 5/8
Rounding up, you're going to need three canisters:
28/3 (2 canisters) < 49/4 (needed) < 42/3 (3 canisters)
9 1/3 < 12 1/4 < 14

Step-by-step explanation:

2L + 3S = 83

 

4L + 8S = 197

 

Multiplies the top equation by -2.

-4L + -6S = -166

 

4l  + 8S = 197

 

 

Adding them together...

 

2S = 31

 

S = 31/2 = 15.5

 

Plugging into the first equation:

 

 2L + 3S = 83

 

 2L + 3(15.5) = 83

 

2L + 46.5 = 83

 

2L = 83 - 46.5

 

2L = 36.5

 

L = 36.5/2 = 18.25

 

check:

 

2L + 3S = 2(18.25) + 3(15.5) = 36.5 + 46.5 = 83

 

4L + 8S = 4(18.25) + 8(15.5) = 73 + 124 = 197

Solve the following system of equations:
y = 2x +1
y=-x+ 4

x=?
y=?​

Answers

Answer:

x = 1, y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = 2x + 1 → (1)

y = - x + 4 → (2)

Substitute y = 2x + 1 into (2)

2x + 1 = - x + 4 ( add x to both sides )

3x + 1 = 4 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

3x = 3 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 1

Substitute x = 1 into (1) and evaluate for y

y = 2(1) + 1 = 2 + 1 = 3

Then solution is x = 1, y = 3
