A gift basket that contains jars of jam and packages of bread mix costs $45. There are 8 items in the basket. Jars of jam cost $6 each, and packages of bread mix cost $5 each. Write and solve a system of linear equations to find the number of jars of jam and the number of packages of bread mix in the gift basket. Let xx represent the number of jars of jam and let y represent the number of packages of bread mix.
Answers
8 items jams+breadmix=8 x+y=8
total value is 45 value of jam=x times cost per jam=x times 6=6x value of bread=y times cost per bread=y times 5=5y
total value=bread value+jam value 45=5y+6x
we have x+y=8 6x+5y=45 solve
multiply first equaton by -5 -5x-5y=-40
add to first equation
-5x-5y=-40 6x+5y=45 + 1x+0y=5
x=5 subsitute x+y=8 5+y=8 y=3
5 jars of jam 3 jars of bread mix
Target sells 24 bottles of water for $3, and 36 bottles of water for $4. Which is the better buy and by how much?
Answers
rate cost/amount 3/24=1/8, 1 doller per 8 botttles
4/36=1/9, 1 dollar=9 bottles
9>8 9-8=1 if by 'better buy' you mean cheaper price then 24 or $3 is better by 1 bottle per bottle
You should NEVER buy plastic water bottles! only the reusable ones, but if you must know, it's cheaper to buy the 24 pack, because if you divide 24 by $3 you get 0.8 for the cost of each water bottle. If you divide 36 by $4 you get 0.9 for the cost of eact water bottle.
|x^2-4x|>=3x Pleasee!!

so x ≤ 0 and then it's, x ≥ 7

Write an expression that has two terms. Your expression should have a variable and a constant
Answers
This is a good expression. x+2. This is simple. x is the variable and 2 is the constant.
Solve the equation: x^2=-36 (picture)
Answers
This equation is not possible. All numbers that are squared end up as positive. -6^2 still equals 36 as well as 6^2. Hope this helped!
