Briana bought 3 bottles of ketchup and 2 bottles of mustard and for $11.85. Logan bought 2 bottles of ketchup and 5 bottles of mustard for $13.73. Find the cost of each.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ketchup be represented as x and mustard as y

Briana  bought 3 bottles of ketchup and 2 bottles of mustard and for $11.85

3x + 2y = 11.85 ...(1)

Logan bought 2 bottles of ketchup and 5 bottles of mustard for $13.73.

2x + 5y = 13.73 ...(2)

Multiplying eq (1) by 2, we get

6x + 4y = 23.7 ...(3)

Multiplying eq (2) by 3, we get

6x + 15y = 41.19 ...(4)

Subtracting eq (3) from (4),

we get 11y = 17.49

y = 1.59, substitute it in eq(1), we get

x = 2.89

Therefore, the cost of ketchup bottle, x = 2.89

The cost of mustard bottle, y = 1.59

78.59 is the mean

step-by-step explanation:

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
