Problem 3: Let x = price of bag of pretzels Let y = price of box of granola bars
We have Lesley's purchase: 4x+2y=13.50
And Landon's: 1x+5y=17.55
We can use the elimination method. Let's negate Landon's purchase by multiplying by -1. -1x-5y=-17.55
We add this four times to Lesley's purchase to eliminate the x variable.
2y-20y=13.50-70.2
-18y=-56.7
y = $3.15 = Price of box of granola bars
Plug back into Landon's purchase to solve for pretzels.
x+5*3.15=17.55
x+15.75=17.55
x = $1.80 = price of bag of pretzels
Problem 4.
Let w = number of wood bats sold
Let m = number of metal bats sold
From sales information we have: w + m = 23
24w+30m=606
Substitution works well here. Solve for w in the first equation, w = 23 - m, and plug this into the second.
24*(23-m)+30m=606
552-24m+30m=606
6m=54
m=9 = number of metal bats sold
Therefore since w = 23-m, w = 23-9 = 14. 14 wooden bats were sold.
Answer:
12 cubes
Step-by-step explanation:
If the total volume of the box is 24 cm³ and the volume of each cube is 1 cm³ then that means that 24 total cubes can fit perfectly inside the box. Since there can only be two layers of cubes then we simply need to divide the total amount of cubes that will fit in the box by 2 to find the number of cubes in each layer...
24 / 2 = 12 cubes
Finally, we can see that each layer within the box will contain 12 cubes
The multiplication of −2(−5)(−3) is -30
The multiplication of numbers in brackets with negative signs takes a method whereby the signs are taken into account when performing the arithmetic operation.
From the given question, we are to multiply:
= - 2 × (-5) × (-3)
= +10 × (-3)
= -30

Answer:
22
Step-by-step explanation:
add everything in the parentheses first, then multiply by 1/2 (or divide by 2)
(28 + 7 + 6 + 3) x 1/2 = 44 x 1/2 = 22
