Answer: Each adult’s meal costed $15

Step-by-step explanation:

This situation can be modeled by the following equation:

2a + 3c = 42, where a = the cost of an adult’s meal, and c = the cost of a child’s meal


Since we know from the problem that a child’s meal costs $4, we know c:

2a + 3(4) = 42


At this point, we can just solve the resulting equation for a:

2a + 3(4) = 42

= 2a + 12 = 42 (simplify 3(4))

= 2a = 30 (subtract 12 from both sides)

= a = 15 (divide both sides by 2)


So, the cost of each adult’s meal was $15.

30 POINTS!!!! I NEED AN ANSWER!!PLEASE HELP!
Harman [31]

Answer:

Its the last one: a translation 2 units right and 4 units down.

Step-by-step explanation:

To get from point E (1,3) to E' (3-1) you add 2 units to the x coordinate since the x-axis goes from left to right  and moving to the right means its positive and then you subtract 4 from the y coordinate since the y axis is going up and down and when you move -4 points you move down 4 points. You do this to every other point get the new figure.

Your math teacher gives you an extra credit problem to figure out her age. Half of her age three years
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Teacher is 27 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

(1/2)(t - 3) = (1/3)(t + 9)

multiply by 6 to clear the fraction

3(t - 3) = 2(t + 9)

Distribute

3t - 9 = 2t + 18

Subtract 2t from both sides

t - 9 = 18

Add 9 to both sides

t = 27

Teacher is 27 years old

Which domain restrictions apply to the rational expression?
andre [41]

Both expression have the same denominator: 9x²-1. Thus it must not be 0.

9x²-1=(3x-1)(3x+1)=0, resulting x=+-1/3.

Restrictions: x in R\{-1/3, 1/3}

Adding those expressions:

E=(-x-2)/(9x²-1 ) + (-5x+4)/(9x²-1)=

(-x-2-5x+4)/(9x²-1)=(-6x+2)/(9x²-1)=

(-2)(3x-1)/(9x²-1)=-2/(3x+1)

E=-2/(3x+1)

Your having lunch at Taco Bell. You have your choice of a taco,burrito or Mexican pizza. You can choose between rice and beans.
tino4ka555 [31]

Let T be the taco, B the burrito, MP the mexican pizza, R the rice, and N the beans.

For the main course we can have the first three.

----- T

------ B

-------MP

Each main course comes with the two sides. So an R branch and a B branch go to each of the taco, burrito, or pizza.

-----T---------R or N.

We expand it to

--------T-----------R

---------------------N

And we repeat it for the rest.


Thus, the tree diagram is

----- T --------R

-----------------N

-----B---------R

-----------------N

----MP--------R

----------------N
