How would I work this word problem out?

The math club and the science club had fundraisers to buy supplies for a hospice. The math club spent 135$ buying 6 cases of juice and one case of bottled water. The science club spent 110$ buying 4 cases of juice and 2 cases of bottled water. How much did a case of juice cost? How much did a case of bottled water cost?





How would I work this out? (It involves linear equations)How would I work this word problem out?
let J be the cost of one case of juice and W be the cost of a bottled water





if so, then we could say:


6J + W = 135; and


4J + 2W = 110





then we can solve for J and W!





solving for J first:


2(6J + W = 135)


-(4J + 2W = 110)


-----------------------


8J = 160


J = $20





solving for W:


6J + W = 135


6(20) + W = 135


W = 135 - 120


W = $15





check:


6J + W = 135


6(20) + 15 = 135 --%26gt;%26gt; correct!





4J + 2W = 110


4(20) + 2(15) = 110 --%26gt;%26gt; correct!














ciao!!How would I work this word problem out?
the first thing you do is set up equations for the two sets of informatio.





let x = cases of juice and let y = cases of bottled water





135 = 6x + 1y


and


110 = 4x + 2y





you can reorganise these two equations however you would like but for times sake lets do the first equation. it changes to: 135 - 6x = y you then substitute that equation into the second at ';y'; and solve for ';x';. from there you can put the ';x'; value in and solve for ';y'; in either equation. and there is your answer.

I want to burn Movies from my Laptop to DVD how does this work?

Is there an online site where i could go to down load movies to computer and then transfer to DVD-R?I want to burn Movies from my Laptop to DVD how does this work?

Go to walmart or a computer store and buy an exsternal dvd burner it plugs into your usb port on your labtop.To answer your other question they are realy cracking down on peer to peer networks but you can still download movies with what is called bittorrents,Look up on google bitcomit and read the tutorialon it.It is realy simple to learn to use.But you must take the time to read the tutorial and learn.Hope this helps good luck.......

Stripping the membranes does this work?

my doctor has stripped my membranes today at the office. I am 38 weeks pregnant. Do you think this is going to work or am i getting my hopes up?Stripping the membranes does this work?
its a 50 / 50 chance, but from my experiences yes it does I have had it done three times and delivered the next day each time, so get some rest, make sure you are 100% packed for the hospital and congratulationsStripping the membranes does this work?
It will work if the baby is ready, but it won't work if the baby isn't. All procedures carry risks. Your doctor should have discussed these with you.
it worked for me, my water broke the same night! it hurt like hell when she did it, but that night my water broke and the next day i had my beautiful son. Good Luck and God Bless!
It can help but its not a magic wand. I had this done to me twice during my second pregnancy (baby was due Dec 25 so I was also 38 wks when I had it done 6 years ago this week!) and had my baby within the week. but I was already dialating and effacing. The baby will come when it wants to so just hang in there. Congratulations on your little Christmas gift!
it can work. Now just go for walks, close to home of course. stripping the membranes is like rubbing a bag of water thin in one spot. This will cause it to be thinner, and the pressure of everything can make it weak and break. Do squats, and take walks is waht my doc says. good luck. congrats.
It worked for me! My daughter was almost a week late so I went in at 9am to have my membranes stripped and was in labor 10 hours later. It doesn't work for everyone though.


Good luck and Congratulations!
It all depends on if your body is ready for labor or not.


I had mine stripped 3 days before my due date and it did nothing for me and I had to be induced. My friend had her's stripped 3 times and she went a week overdue and had to be induced. And then I had a friend who had it done and within 3hrs she was in labor....it just varies from person to person.
I've known it to work but not necessarily that same day... there are other ways of helping labor come on.. like walking, sex... just takes time. good luck.
It doesn't always work if it dose it will be within 24 hours. My sister had hers done on the 20 of last year before she came home hoping to have the baby with her and didn't have my nephew until January 2nd.
If your doctor did it, i'm sure he has hopes that it will work. Put faith in him and relax.

A friend told me that when you are on the pill, it works by giving you ';fake'; periods is this true?

If so, if you were to get pregnant whilst on the pill would you continue to have these ';fake'; periods?A friend told me that when you are on the pill, it works by giving you ';fake'; periods is this true?
No. It works by making your body think its pregnant for 3 or 4 weeks so your ovaries dont produce an egg.


That stops you getting pregnant.


Then you come off it for a week, you have a period as normal.





Then you start again.A friend told me that when you are on the pill, it works by giving you ';fake'; periods is this true?
It has been a long time since I was ever on birth control but if I remember correctly, birth control works in making your body think it is already pregnant. Like fooling your body, which is some reasons why women dont have periods while taking it or gain weight, etc.
It is a fake period. No egg is ovulated and very little endometrium grows (which is why your period on the pill is usually lighter). It is possible for the hormones to cause bleeding if you are pregnant, but heavy bleeding like a period if you are pregnant is never good.





It's different for all women, depending on the hormone variant in your body, but my mom got pregnant twice on the pill and still had regular bleeding during the time of her scheduled period.
No, it's not a 'fake period'. It's just a controlled period. You take the hormone for three weeks, which stops you from ovulating (it tricks your body into thinking it's pregnant).





Then on week 4, you take the placebo or sugar pills...some packs don't even contain this - you just skip taking any for that week. When you're on the placebo pills/not taking any, it triggers your period. And egg or not, it's a real period.





If you were to get pregnant on the pill, you would not get this period. However, some women do experience some bleeding when their period would normally occur during early pregnancy - this can happen whether you were on the pill or not.
what do you mean a fake period? Like an imaginary period? Its not real blood? Kidding.....you dont ovulate. you take 3 weeks of hormones to prevent you from ovulating then you take a week of sugar pills. they have no hormones. you bleed from that. its a real period.





Not every woman ovulates every month, but will still get a period....Im talking off the pill. Those are still real periods.
Yes you might, the hormone drop at the placebo part of the pack could cause bleeding. Often it doesn't though because you get natural hormones of pregnacy that compensate.
Huh?? You still get periods. There's a week of placebo ';fake'; pills you take while on your period. They don't do anythng except keep you on your pill-taking routine.
I don't know what they mean by a fake period but no - that's not true. If you took the pill continuously then you wouldn't have a period at all. In some countries that's how they are advised to take it, but not in the UK i understand.

Can someone tell me how this points thing works?

i know you get points for answering and lose points for asking...how do you move up a level? why does yahoo not make their points system more clear? if you have more points...do you win the prize? i dont get it. plus, why should you lose points for asking a question?Can someone tell me how this points thing works?
The points are mostly just an incentive for people to start answering questions, and also to vote on other answers, and finally, to rate other people's answers. As you increase your points and levels you are able to perform more of the standard activity - ask, answer, rate, vote and comment.





Other than that, the points don't do anything. You do get some extra 'attention' at higher levels, but that may or may not be a good thing. There are no secret special prizes, at least none that any of us at Level 7 have heard of.





Mostly, just enjoy the site, ask and answer questions. If you like, keep track of your points as you move up in levels. After awhile, you'll be more interested in responding to people's questions with quality answers.

sorry it can't get any clearer than it already is .take some time and really read the rules or the instruction
Just keep answering questions and get more points
yahoo often has contests if people pick your answer the most u win a prize. and i guess in general the points are for showing that u have really good answer skills. and if u get a few hundred points u move up a level and get extra features. i dunno y they take away the 5 points maybe they dont want to many people asking questions at once.
Click on your name or your points amount which should be located on the upper left side or your screen when you are in Yahoo! Answers and it will take you to the site where you can get all that information
as i understand it as they are updating their system with new perks as you get more points the more of these new perks you'll be able to get,however there is a catch a dumb one you can only answer so many per day in order to get points thus it's really odd.


I think they are trying to see how far they can go in getting people to do what they say,while expecting a reward,yet get really nothing.
