help please :))
please help:) will medal
wait wait wait wait wait....
This guy found a movie theatre that charges 2.04 for a LARGE popcorn and a LARGE soda? There is absolutely no way...
hahah super cheap
like... at most places.. you can get a baby size popcorn for maybe 5 dollars.. it just doesn't make sense
i thought the answer was $1.02 but I was wrong so dont really know how to do this
Oh, yes I should stop joking around and help :) sorry reading it again
\(\large\rm 1P+1D=2.04\) \(\large\rm 3P+2D=5.36\) So we have a system of 2 equations, yes? Where P is the price of a popcorn, and D is the price of a drink.
x+y=2,04 3x+2y=5,36 solve the system for x and y x mean large popcorn y mean large drink
okay
so should i solve both equations?
how you solve a system of equation ?
Elimination would be option :) Unless you prefer substitution.
oh sorry looking at somthing else oops
With elimination, since you're trying to solve for P, the popcorn price, you would like to try and "cancel out" the D's from your equations. So we first need to try and make the number of D's match in both equations.
is the answer $1.78?
lol you just keep throwing out random guesses :P I think you're just giving us your multiple choice options XD
ha nope i just did the math!
oh :)
and this wasnt a multiple choice question :(
i did 5.36/3p=1.78
ok. Kathline - was our pleasure - yes @zepdrix ? so good luck bye and anytime
thanks..
\(\large\rm 1P+1D=2.04\) \(\large\rm 3P+2D=5.36\) If we multiply the first equation by 2, \(\large\rm 2P+2D=4.08\) \(\large\rm 3P+2D=5.36\) Notice that now our D's match up! So let's subtract the first equation from the second one. 2D - 2D will leave us with no D's, which is what we want! :)
ok
\(\large\rm 3P-2P=5.36-4.08\)
oh so its not 1.78...
its 1.28?
yay good job \c:/
thanks! can i just ask another question but attach it to here on the comments?
you should open a new thread, im super busy D: I gotta keep moving sorryyyyy
oh okay
