Let x = cost of one cheese pizza.
Let y = cost of one pepperoni pizza.
Set up a system of equations.
6x + 7y = 153.50
2x + 2y = 47.00.
Multiply the second equation by -3
6x + 7y = 153.50
-6x - 6y = -141.00.
Add the equations together
y = $12.00.
Plug 12 into one of our original equations.
2x + 2(12) = 47.
Simplify the left side.
2x + 24 = 47.
Subtract 24 from each side.
2x = 23.
Divide each side by 2
x = $11.50
In conclusion, one pepperoni pizza costs $12.00
Answer:
You could just replace all the given possible values of k in the inequality and see which ones are solutions, but let's solve this in a more interesting way:
First, remember how the absolute value works:
IxI = x if x ≥ 0
IxI = -x if x ≤ 0
Then if we have something like:
IxI < B
We can rewrite this as
-B < x < B
Now let's answer the question, here we have the inequality:
I-k -2I < 18
Then we can rewrite this as:
-18 < (-k - 2) < 18
Now let's isolate k:
first, we can add 2 in the 3 parts of the inequality:
-18 + 2 < -k - 2 + 2 < 18 + 2
-16 < -k < 20
Now we can multiply all sides by -1, remember that this also changes the direction of the signs, then:
-1*-16 > -1*-k > -1*20
16 > k > -20
Then k can be any value between these two limits.
So the correct options (from the given ones) are:
k = -16
k = -8
k = 0
