<u><em>Answer:</em></u> <em><u>290 calories in a cheeseburger and 230 calories in fries.</u></em>

<em><u>x = calories in a cheeseburger</u></em>

<em><u>y =  calories in an order of small fries</u></em>

<em><u>Four cheeseburgers and five small fries have 2,310 calories. Therefore</u></em>

<em><u>4x + 5y = 2310       (1)</u></em>

<em><u>Three cheeseburgers and two small fries have 1,330 calories. Therefore</u></em>

<em><u>3x + 2y = 1330        (2)</u></em>

<em><u>Equations (1) and (2) model the given situation.</u></em>

<em><u>To solve, multiply (1) by 2, and multiply (2) by 5 to obtain</u></em>

<em><u>  8x + 10y = 4620          (3)</u></em>

<em><u>15x + 10y = 6650          (4)</u></em>

<em><u>Subtract (3) from (4).</u></em>

<em><u>7x = 2030</u></em>

<em><u>x = 290</u></em>

<em><u>From (1), obtain</u></em>

<em><u>5y = 2310 - 4*290 = 1150</u></em>

<em><u>y = 230</u></em>

<em><u> x = 290, y = 23</u></em>

<u><em>Hope this helps!</em></u>

<u><em>:)</em></u>

Well, let's take a peek at the graph of that line, hmmm let's pick two points, heck, those tow on the extremes anyway, and those are (-5,2) and (5,-1), alrite.. now, let's do some checking on that.

\bf \begin{array}{lllll}&#10;&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\&#10;%   (a,b)&#10;&({{ -5}}\quad ,&{{ 2}})\quad &#10;%   (c,d)&#10;&({{ 5}}\quad ,&{{ -1}})&#10;\end{array}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% slope  = m&#10;slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies &#10;\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{-1-2}{5-(-5)}\implies \cfrac{-1-2}{5+5}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{-3}{10}

\bf \stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})}\implies y-2=-\cfrac{3}{10}[x-(-5)]&#10;\\\\\\&#10;y-2=-\cfrac{3}{10}(x+5)\implies y-2=-\cfrac{3}{10}x-\cfrac{3}{2}\implies y=-\cfrac{3}{10}x-\cfrac{3}{2}+2&#10;\\\\\\&#10;y=-\cfrac{3}{10}x+\cfrac{1}{2}

At carl's combine diner, there are three size of coffee drinks regular (300ml), large (500ml) and extra large (800mL), and they
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The number of regular, large, and extra-large drinks are 12, 15, and 10 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the cost for regular coffee drinks (300 ml)=$2.25

The cost for large coffee drinks (500 ml)=$3.25

The cost for extra large coffee drinks (800 ml)=$5.75

Let p,q, and r be the number of regular, large, and extra-large coffee sold.

As the diner sold a total of 37 coffees, so

p+q+r=37

r=37-p-q...(i)

The volume of p regular coffee = 300p ml

The volume of q  large coffee = 500q ml

The volume of r extra-large coffee = 800r ml

As the total volume of coffee sold was 19,100mi, so

300p+500q+800r=19100

By using equation (i)

300p+500q+800(37-p-q)=19100

300p+500q+800 x 37 - 800p - 800q=19100

-500p-300q=19100-29600

500p+300q=10500

500p=10500-300q

p=21-0.6q...(ii)

Now, the cost of p regular coffee=$2.25p

The cost of q large coffee=$3.25q

The cost of r extra-large coffee=$5.75r

As the amount of money made in coffee sales was $133.25, so

2.25p+3.25q+5.75r=133.25

By using equations (1)  we have

2.25p+3.25q+5.75(37-p-q)=133.25

2.25p+3.25q+212.75-5.75p-5.75q=133.25

3.50p+2.50q=79.5

From equation (ii)

3.5(21-0.6q)+2.50q=79.5

73.5-2.1q+2.5q=79.5

0.4q=79.5-73.5=6

q=6/0.4

q=15

From equation (ii)

p=21-0.6(15)

p=12

From equation (i)

r= 37-12-15

r=10

Hence, the number of regular, large, and extra-large drinks are 12, 15, and 10 respectively.
