A customer buys five cans of baked beans, four packets of brown sugar and two packets of biscuits from a supermarket.He gives the cashier R150.00 and gets R26.00 in change. A can of baked beans costs half as much as a packet of biscuits whilst a packet of sugar is R3.00 cheaper than a packet of biscuits.1.How much did all the items cost?
2.Calculate the cost of a can of baked beans, a packet of sugar and a packet of biscuits.
3.How much will 8 cans of baked beans,1 packet of sugar and 6 packets of biscuits cost?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: can of baked beans = x
packet of brown sugar = y
packet of biscuit = z

5x + 4y + 2z = 150 - 26 ⇒ 5x + 4y + 2z = 124 is the total cost of all items.

can of baked beans = x = 1/2 of z
packet of sugar = y = z - 3

5(z/2) + 4(z-3) + 2z = 124
5z/2 + 4z - 12 + 2z = 124
5z/2 + 6z = 124 + 12
2(5z/2 + 6z) = 2(136)
5z + 12z = 272
17z = 272
z = 16 cost of a packet of biscuit.

x = 1/2 of z = 16/2 = 8 cost of a can of baked beans
y = z - 3 = 16 - 3 = 13 cost of a packet of sugar

5x + 4y + 2z = 124
5(8) + 4(13) + 2(16) = 124
40 + 52 + 32 = 124
124 = 124

8(8) + 1(13) + 6(16) = 64 + 13 + 96 = 173 total cost on question 3.

Can someone help me with math?Come up with and describe two scenarios: one that models a direct variation situation and one that models an inverse variation situation. Do not state explicitly which scenario is which, but provide at least four data pairs for each situation. Your classmates will have to determine which of the scenarios is a direct variation and which is an inverse variation, and the value of k for each.

Answers

An example of a direct variation scenario is the increase in the income of a start-up bakeshop when the number of cakes sold increase. Example data are (4, $ 100), (5, $ 125), (6, $ 150), and (7, $ 175).

The example of indirect variation scenario is the decrease in time it takes to reach a destination when the speed of the mobile increases. This is shown in the data points: (10 kph, 10 mins), (12 kph, 8 mins), (14 kph, 6 mins), and (16 kph, 4 mins).

ListenWhich statement has x = 2 as its solution?
3x - 12 = 17
7(x + 1) = 14
1- 6x = -11
4x + 5 = 3

Answers

Answer: 1 - 6x = -11

Step-by-step explanation:

For each expression, substitute x for 2 to determine which is the correct expression:

3x - 12 = 17
3(2) - 12 = 17
6 - 12 = 17
-6 $\neq$ 17
Because the number on the left side of the equation doesn't equal the number on the right, this first equation is incorrect.

7(x + 1) = 14
7(2 + 1) = 14
7(3) = 14
21 $\neq$ 14
This second equation is incorrect as well.

1 - 6x = -11
1 - 6(2) = -11
1 - 12 = -11
-11 = -11
Because the number on the left equals the number on the right, the third equation is correct.
