To determine the cost of each item, we need to set up equations. From the problem statement, we have three unknowns so we need three equations. We set up equations as follows:
let x cost of small pizzas
y cost of soda
z cost of salad
two small pizzas, a liter of soda, and a salad cost $14
2x + y + z = 14
one small pizza, a liter of soda, and three salads cost $15
x + y + 3z = 15
three small pizzas, a liter of soda, and two salads cost $22
3x + y + 2z = 22
Solving for x, y and z, we will have:
x = $ 5
y = $ 1
z = $ 3
4x + 3y = 54 (1)
3x + 9y = 108 (2)
Multiply (1) by (-3)
-12x - 9y = -162
3x + 9y = 108
---------------------add
-9x = -54
x = 6
plug x = 6 into (1) to find y
4(6) + 3y = 54
24 + 3y = 54
3y = 30
y = 10
Answer
(6 , 10)
Hope it helps.
A(b)+16 = 16 larger than the product of a and b.
Answer:
250
Step-by-step explanation:
Pretty much every time it asks for the abasloute value it just asks how much to get the zero on the number line. It will ALWAYS be positive. For example -5 will be 5 to get to zero on the numberline. Same thing with a positive 5.
5/8=0.625
7/12=0.583......
5/8 is bigger as ive put both into a decimal as it is easier to tell
