Question

Fill in the system of equations below so it models

the information given in the table.
C + 2P+blank l=
BlankC +P+ blank l=370
BlankC + blank P+2l=1,320

Answer 1

Missing blanks are in bold and underlined:

C + 2P + ( 1 ) I = ( 770 )

( 1 ) C + P + ( 0 ) I = 370

( 2 ) C + ( 3 ) P + 2I = 1,320

===================================================

Explanation:

It is required to models the information given in the table.

As shown at the table there are 3 different types of food each one of them given amount of calories

So, For the first column, Dante has 1 cookies, 2 pizza and 1 ice cream, the amount of calories will be 770

So, the three equations on the right to write a 3×3 system of equation that represents the amount of calories for Dante, Celeste and Petey

So, the complete equations will be as following:

C + 2P + ( 1 ) I = ( 770 )

( 1 ) C + P + ( 0 ) I = 370

( 2 ) C + ( 3 ) P + 2I = 1,320
