You buy 1 box of dog food and 2 cans of cat food for $25. Your friend buys 2 boxes of dog food and 1 can of cat food for $26.

Answers

Answer 1
a = dog food, b = cat food
1a + 2b= 25
2a + 1b = 26
simultaneous equations!!

2a + 4b=50
2a + 1b = 26
subtract from each other

2a - 2a = 0
4b - 1b = 3b
50 - 26 = 24
3b = 24
b = $8

then sub into equation
1a + 2(8) = 25
25-16 = 9

a= $9
Answer 2

The cost of 1 box of dog food is $ 9 and cost of 1 can of cat food is $ 8  

What is an Equation?

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given data ,

Let the cost of 1 box of dog food be = x

Let the cost of 1 can of cat food be = y

The cost of 1 box of dog food and 2 cans of cat food = $ 25

The cost of 2 boxes of dog food and 1 can of cat food = $ 26

So , the equation will be

1x + 2y = 25   be equation (1)

2x + 1y = 26   be equation (2)

Now , Multiply equation (1) by 2 , we get

2x + 4y = 50   be equation (3)

On Subtracting equation (2) from equation (3) , we get

3y = 24

Divide by 3 on both sides , we get

y = $ 8

Substituting the value of y in equation (1) , we get

x + 2 ( 8 ) = 25

x + 16 = 25

Subtracting 16 on both sides , we get

x = $ 9

Therefore , the value of x is $ 9 and value of y is $ 8

Hence , the cost of 1 box of dog food is $ 9 and the cost of 1 can of cat food is $ 8

Answers

Answer:

P = 4(2x + 5)

P = (2x + 5)+(2x + 5)+(2x + 5)+(2x + 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Perimeter of square = 4 * s

Where s = side length

If perimeter, P = 8x + 20

Then,

4s = 8x + 20

Divide both sides by 4

4s / 4 = (8x + 20) / 4

s = 2x + 5

P = 4s

P = 4(2x + 5)

Or

P = 2x + 5 in 4 places

P = (2x + 5)+(2x + 5)+(2x + 5)+(2x + 5)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Base (b) = 30 yd

A racing shell, which is a boat a crew team rows, moves 20 km/h in still water. During practice, the team rows 36 km against the current and 22 km with the current. Find the speed of the river current if the team rows a total of 3 hours.

Answers

Answer:

2 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the river current, t₁ be the time spent rowing against the current and t₂ be the time spent rowing with the current.

Since the speed of the still water = 20 km/h.

The speed of rowing against the current = (20 - x)

The speed of rowing with the current = (20 + x)

We know that velocity = distance / time. Hence time = distance / velocity

t₁ = 36 / (20 - x)

t₂ = 22 / (20 + x)

but t₁ + t₂ = 3 hours

Therefore:

3 = 36 / (20 - x) + 22 / (20 + x)

multiply through by 400 - x²

3(400 - x²) = 36(20 + x) + 22(20 - x)

1200 - 3x² = 720 + 36x + 440 - 22x

3x² + 14x -40 = 0

This gives x = -6.7 or x = 2

x cannot be negative therefore x = 2 km/h

The speed of the river current is 2 km/h

Answer:

2km/h is correct

Andre and Elena are each saving money. Andre starts with $100 in his savings account and adds $5 per week. Elena starts with $10 in her savings account and adds $20 each week.

Answers

Answer:

6 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to write an equation for each.

For Andre, he has 100 dollars, and every week gets 5 dollars more. You add the 5 dollars, and Since you don't know how many weeks it has been, use a variable.

For Elena, she has 10 dollars, and gets 20 each week.

Now that you know that it has been 4 weeks, you can plug in 4 for the variable for weeks.

Andrew:100+5(4)=100+20+120

Elena: 10+20(4)=10+80=90

Andrew has more money in this time.

To find when they have the same amount, equal their expressions to each other. This means that they will have the same amount (because they are equalled) and you can solve to find the variable, which means the weeks that they are equal at.

Bring the like terms to each side by canceling them out. Since you have positive 10, then subtract 10 to each side. You have 5w, so subtract 5w to each side.

100+5w=10+20w

90+5w=20w

90=15w

90 divided by 15=6

w=6

14.Find the value of <A in the following figure.

Answers

Given:

The figure of triangle ABC.

To find:

The measure of angle A.

Solution:

From the given figure, we get

[tex]\angle ABC+120^\circ=180^\circ[/tex]                 (Linear pair)

[tex]\angle ABC=180^\circ-120^\circ[/tex]

[tex]\angle ABC=60^\circ[/tex]

According to the exterior angle theorem, the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of two opposite interior angles.

[tex]\angle A+\angle ABC=105^\circ[/tex]          (Exterior angle theorem)

[tex]\angle A+60^\circ=105^\circ[/tex]

[tex]\angle A=105^\circ-60^\circ[/tex]

[tex]\angle A=45^\circ[/tex]

Therefore, the measure of angle A is 45 degrees.

EXPLAIN when |−x| = x would be true.
HINT: If you are stuck, try substituting each of x = -1, x = 0, and x = 1 into the equation. Then, interpret your results.

Answers

Answer:

It's true when x = a positive number.

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't know how to explain this, so here we go.

The definition of absolute value is the distance a number is away from 0.

In other words, all numbers are now positive or 0.

If |-x| = x, it means x would have to be positive because, well, to prove that, we have to see what it couldn't be a negative number

if x was a negative number (-1), this is what we would get

|-(-1)| = -1

|1| = -1

1 = -1

That's not right!

And this happens in any negative number you do.

Because the absolute value of something cannot be negative

I cannot stress that enough

Since it is the absolute value of -x, x has to be positive, if it isn't, then there is no solution for x.

Any number greater than or equal to zero is a possible answer for the absolute value of something, but the absolute value of something cannot be a negative number

I hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.

You use it when dealing with absolute value. Those lines around the x represent absolute value. AV essentially means that whatever is in the lines equals that number, but positive. AV by definition means the distance from 0.

So, 7 and -7 are both 7 (absolute value) from 0.

Hope that helps!
