Archie can buy 5 buckets of popcorn and 2 drinks for $16.25. terry can buy 3 buckets of popcorn and 1 drinks for $9.50. assume that all buckets of popcorn are the same price and all drinks are the same price.

The cost of one bucket of popcorn is $2.75

The cost of one drink is $1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x > the cost of one bucket of popcorn

y > the cost of one drink

we know that

5x+2y=16.25 > equation A

3x+y=9.50

y=9.50-3x > equation B

Solve the system of equations by substitution

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for x

5x+2(9.50-3x)=16.25

5x+19-6x=16.25

6x-5x=19-16.25

x=$2.75

Find the value of y

y=9.50-3x

y=9.50-3(2.75)=$1.25

therefore

The cost of one bucket of popcorn is $2.75

The cost of one drink is $1.25

step-by-step explanation:

the probability is   .24

the first player had the highest probability of getting a silver marble

the game could be made fair by adding back the marble that was drawn after each draw

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2

answer:   {x = -1/2 ,   y = -1
