Answer:

According to the problem,

Cost for each cup = $1.29

Overall cups = 12

Total expense for the cups = 12 x 1.29 = $15.48

Candy cost = $2.49 per cup

Overall candy cups = x

Nut cost = $0.69 per cup

Overall nut cups = y

Equations:

x + y = 12 (since the total cups of nuts and candies must equal 12)

2.49x + 0.69y = 15.48 (the total expense for the 12 cups equals 15.48)

Step 1: Express x in terms of y

x = 12 - y

Step 2: Substitute x in terms of y from step 1 into the second equation

2.49x + 0.69y = 15.48

2.49 (12 - y) + 0.69y = 15.48

29.88 - 2.49y + 0.69y = 15.48

-1.8y = -14.4

y = 14.4/1.8

y = 8

Step 3: Determine x

x + y = 12

x = 12 - y

x = 12 - 8

x = 4

Thus, Yumi needs 4 cups of candy and 8 cups of nuts.

Mara ran 3km north and then 4km east. She will finish her run by running directly home. What was the total distance of her run?
tester [12383]
To find the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides measuring 3 and 4, we first need to use the Pythagorean theorem and then add that distance to 3 and 4.

By applying the theorem, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the sides...

d^2=3^2+4^2

d^2=9+16

d^2=25

d=√25

d=5

Thus, the total distance for her run is 5+4+3=12 km

Your school wants to take out an ad in the paper congratulating the basketball team on a successful​ season, as shown to the rig
AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

1.4in

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of Photo = 4in

Width of Photo = 3in

Unknown:

Value of X =?

Solution:

Following these steps:

  Area of a rectangle  = l x w

Considering the photo is rectangular; area of photo:

  Area of photo  = 4in x 3in = 12in²

For the advertisement's area;

   Length of ad  = 4 + x

   Width of ad = 3 + x

Based on the relation that

                  the area of the photo  = \frac{1}{2} area of ad

                           12in²  = \frac{1}{2} area of ad

                   Area of ad  = 24in²

Advertising Area:

             (4 + x) (3 + x)  = 24

               12 + 4x + 3x + x² = 24

                12 + 7x + x²  = 24

                       x² + 7x = 24 - 12

                       x² + 7x = 12

                     x² + 7x - 12  = 0

                    Using the quadratic formula where

     a  = 1, b = 7 and c = -12

          x  = \frac{-b (+/-) \sqrt{b^{2} } - 4ac}{2a}

     

          x = \frac{-7 + \sqrt[]{-7^{2} - 4x1x-12 } }{2x1}   or \frac{-7 - \sqrt[]{-7^{2} - 4x1x-12 } }{2x1}

          x  = 1.4  or  -8.4

therefore the answer is 1.4in

x is 1.4in

Elliot has a total of 26 books. He has 12 more fiction books than nonfiction books. Let x represent the number of fiction books
Leona [12618]

Responses

19 fiction books

7 nonfiction books


Explanation

x + y = 26............................................. (i)

x – y = 12............................................ (ii)

By adding the two equations, Elliot obtained the result of

2x = 38.

When divided by 2;

x = 19

Therefore, there are 19 fiction books.

Substituting x into equation (i),

x + y = 26            when x = 19

19 + y = 26

y = 26 - 19

   = 7

This means there are 7 nonfiction books

Explain how you can use the inscribed angle theorem to justify its second corollary, that an angle inscribed in a semicircle is
Zina [12379]
To demonstrate:

The angle drawn within a semicircle forms a right angle.

According to the inscribed angle theorem, the angle θ that is inscribed in a circle is half of the measure of the central angle. Thus, in a semicircle, the inscribed angle is half of 180 degrees, resulting in 90 degrees, which is a right angle. <span />
