Answer:
Variable x = $2.39 ⇒ price of 1 pound of cashews
Variable y = $1.79 ⇒ price of 1 pound of peanuts
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume that the price of each pound of cashews is $x and the price of each pound of peanuts is $y
∵ The price of 1 pound of cashews = x
∵ The price of 1 pound of peanuts = y
∵ 5 pounds of cashews and 8 pounds of peanuts cost $26.27
∴ 5x + 8y = 26.27 ⇒ (1)
∵ 7 pounds of cashews and 4 pounds of peanuts cost $23.89
∴ 7x + 4y = 23.89 ⇒ (2)
Now we have a system of equations to solve it
→ Multiply equation (2) by -2 to make the coefficients of y equal
in values and different in signs
∵ -2(7x) + -2(4y) = -2(23.89)
∴ -14x - 8y = -47.78 ⇒ (3)
→ Add equations (1) and (3) to eliminate y
∵ (5x + -14x) + (8y + - 8y) = (26.27 + -47.78)
∴ -9x = -21.51
→ Divide both sides by -9 to find x
∴ x = 2.39
→ Substitute x in equation (1) or (2) to find y
∵ 5(2.39) + 8y = 26.27
∴ 11.95 + 8y = 26.27
→ Subtract 11.95 from both sides
∴ 8y = 14.32
→ Divide both sides by 8 to find y
∴ y = 1.79
∴ The price of 1 pound of cashews is $2.39
∴ The price of 1 pound of peanuts is $1.79
Patrick spent a total of $29.82 for 14 paintbrushes, $31.84 for 16 drywall anchor screws, $27.15 for 12 light bulbs, and $36.54 for 18 pieces of sandpaper at his local hardware store. Which purchase had the highest per item cost?
A.

Paint Brushes: 29.82 ÷ 14 = $2.13 per brush.
Drywall Screws : 31.84 ÷ 16 = $1.99 per anchor screw.
Light Bulbs: 27.15 ÷ 12 = $2.26 per light bulb.
Sandpaper: 36.54 ÷ 18 = $2.06 per piece of sandpaper.
Divide 2/8 by 9/18. Input your answer as a reduced fraction.
Answer:
the answer in simplest form is 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
you would do keep flip switch so
2/8 would stay the same but 9/18 would be 18/9 then multiply 2/8 by 18/9 then put in simplest form by dividing
After divide, the value of fraction is 1/2.
What is Division method?Division method is used to distributing a group of things into equal parts. Division is just opposite of multiplications. For example, dividing 20 by 2 means splitting 20 into 2 equal groups of 10.
We have to given that;
Divide 2/8 by 9/18.
Now, We can divide the numbers as;
⇒ Divide 2/8 by 9/18
⇒ 2/8 ÷ 9/18
⇒ 2/8 × 18/9
⇒ 36/72
⇒ 1/2

A slug travels 3 centimeters in 3 minutes. A snail travels 6 centimeters in 6 minutes. Both travel at constant speeds. Mai says, “The snail was traveling faster because it went a greater distance.” Do you agree with Mai's reasoning
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
If you find the rate, they are the same.
3 minutes/3= 1 minute
3cm/3= 1 cm
Slug= 1 cm per minute
6 minutes/6= 1 minute
6cm/6= 1 cm
Snail= 1 cm per minute

-4x-y=24 missing value
Answer:
For solving x x= -24+y/4 For solving Y y=−24−4x
Step-by-step explanation:
This is solving for x
Add y to both sides.
−4x=24+y
Divide both sides by -4
and the answer is
x= -24+y/4
THis is solving Y
Add 4x to both sides
−y=24+4x
Multiply both sides by -1
and the answer is
y=−24−4x
