HELP ASAP DUE TOMORROW!!!
On a family outing, Tyler bought 5 cups of hot cocoa (x)
and 4 pretzels (y) for $18.40. Some of his family members
would like a second serving, so he went back to the same
food stand and bought another 2 cups of hot cocoa (x) and
4 pretzels (y) for $11.20.

Answers

Answer 1

Answers:

x = 2.40

y = 1.60

This means 1 hot cocoa costs $2.40 and 1 pretzel costs $1.60

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

Work Shown:

x = cost of 1 cup of hot cocoa

y = cost of 1 pretzel

5x = cost of 5 cocoas

4y = cost of 4 pretzels

5x+4y = cost of 5 cocoas+4 pretzels

5x+4y = 18.40

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

2x = cost of 2 cocoas

4y = cost of 4 pretzels

2x+4y = cost of 2 cocoas+4 pretzels

2x+4y = 11.20

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

The system of equations we have is

[tex]\begin{cases}5x+4y = 18.40\\2x+4y = 11.20\end{cases}[/tex]

Note how 4y shows up twice. This is handy to be able to get rid of the y terms completely.

How? By subtracting the equations straight down

The x terms subtract to 5x-2x = 3x

The y terms subtract to 4y-4y = 0y = 0 and they go away

The right hand sides subtract to 18.40 - 11.20 = 7.20

After those three separate subtractions, we have this new equation:

3x = 7.20

Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x

3x/3 = 7.20/3

x = 2.40

Each hot cocoa costs $2.40

Now use this x value to find y. You can pick any equation you want as long as it has x,y in it. I'll pick the first equation

5x+4y = 18.40

5(2.40)+4y = 18.40

12+4y = 18.40

4y = 18.40-12

4y = 6.40

y = 6.40/4

y = 1.60

Each pretzel costs $1.60

If we picked on the second equation, we should get the same y value

Let's find out

2x+4y = 11.20

2(2.40)+4y = 11.20

4.80+4y = 11.20

4y = 11.20-4.80

4y = 6.40

y = 6.40/4

y = 1.60

We get the same result as before.

To check the answers, you need to plug those values back into the two original equations and simplify. You should get the same thing on both sides.

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

So in case you did not know, MNJ and KNL have the same angle measure, so to find x you would just set each of the eqautions equal to each other. distribute the 3 to (x + 14) and get 5x+  2 = 3x + 42. subtract 2 from one side and do the same on the other side. this would leave your eqaution looking like this: 5x-40= 3x, next subtract 5x from both sides and you will get  -2x=-40, then vide by -2 and x will equal 20

Anne owns a used car lot and in order to get cars to sell, she buys used cars at an
auction place. It costs $200 to attend the auction and she buys used cars at
$2,000 each. Last Tuesday, she purchased 10 cars. Which of the following
functions correctly represents this situation in function notation?
f(x) = 10x + 200
f(x) = 200x + 2,000
f(x) = 2,000x + 10
f(x) = 2,000x + 200

Answers

Answer:

It would be 2,000x+200

Step-by-step explanation:

okay it costs $200 to attend so that's a cost you are going to have to pay regardless. The $2,000 depends on how many cars you buy. So it would be 2,000 (times how ever many cars you buy) plus the $200.

Benito drew a graph representing the number of miles he ran and the number
calories he burned. What is the unit rate in calories per mile? 3 4 250 1,000

Answers

Answer:

250

Step-by-step explanation:

1000 divided by 4, is 250

The unit rate would be 250 calories per mile which is the slope of the given linear function.

What is the unit rate?

The unit rate of a linear function is defined as the slope of the linear function.

The slope is denoted by m

Slope m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ -x₁ )

Consider two points on a line—Point 1 and Point 2. Point 1 has coordinates (x₁,y₁) and Point 2 has coordinates (x₂, y₂)

The given graph represents the number of miles he ran and the number of calories burned.

Taking two points as per the given graph :(2, 500), (6, 1500)

Let

x₁ = 2, y₁ = 500

x₂ = 6, y₂ = 1500

Substitute values in the formula to get

unit rate = (1500 - 500)/(6 - 2)

unit rate = (1000)/(4)

Apply the division operation,

unit rate = 250

Therefore, the unit rate would be 250 calories per mile
