Answer:

48 muffins were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the number of muffins by m and the number of cookies by c.

Then the revenue from the sales of muffins was ($2/muffin)m and that from the sales of cookies ($1/cookie)c.  Remembering that c = m + 2, we obtain the following equation:

($2/muffin)m +  ($1/cookie)(m + 2) = $146, so that:

2m + 1m + 2 = 146, or 3m + 2 = 146, or 3m = 144.

Dividing both sides of this result by 3, we get m = 48

Thus, 48 muffins were sold.

Solve, using linear combination. <br> 3x + y = 4<br> 2x + y = 4
nataly862011 [7]
X would be 0 while Y would be 4

  3x+y=4
  -(2x+y=4)
----------------
x=0

Plug in x to any of those two equations in their original form

3(0)+y=4

0 + y = 4

y = 4

It is known that 1.4&lt; square root of 2 &lt;1.5. Find all possible values of the expression 2-square root of 2. How do I find
horsena [70]

Answer:

0.5<2-√2<0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The original inequality states that 1.4<√2<1.5

For the second inequality, you can think of 2-√2 as 2+(-√2).

Because of the "properties of inequalities", we know that when a positive inequality is being turned into a negative, the numbers need to swap and become negative. So, the original inequality becomes -1.5<-√2<-1.4. (Notice how the √2 becomes negative, too). This makes sense because -1.5 is less than -1.4.

Using our new inequality, we can solve the problem. Instead of 2+(-√2), we are going to switch "-√2" with both possibilities of -1.5 and -1.6. For -1.5, we would get 2+(-1.5), or 0.5. For -1.4, we would get 2+(-1.4), or 0.6.

Now, we insert the new numbers into the equation _<2-√2<_. The 0.5 would take the original equation's "1.4" place, and 0.6 would take 1.5's. In the end, you'd get 0.5<2-√2<0.6. All possible values of 2-√2 would be between 0.5 and 0.6.

Hope this helped!
