The total number of small drinks 's' bought by Maria is 7.

The total number of medium drinks 'm' drinks bought by Maria is 6.

<h3>What is system of linear equations?</h3>

A collection of one or more linear equations containing the same variables is known as a system of linear equations (or linear system).

Formation of the linear equation for the drinks bought by Maria:

The total number of drinks bought by the Maria is 13.

Lets say 'm' represents the number of medium drink.

's' represents the number of small drink.

Total drinks comprises of medium drinks and small drinks.

Thus,

s + m = 13, is the first linear equation.

Now medium drinks cost $3.

Total cost for purchasing medium drinks = (price of one medium drink)×(total number of medium drinks)

Total price for medium drinks = 3×m

Similarly,

Total cost for purchasing small drinks = (price of one small drink)×(total number of small drinks)

Total price for small drinks = 2×s

Total cost = total cost of medium drink + total cost of small drink

          32  = 3×m + 2×s, is second linear equation.

From equation first substitute the value of 'm' in second equation to fine the total number of drink.

32 = 3×(13 - s) + 2×s

32 = 39 - 3s + 22

s = 7

Put s = 7 in first equation and calculate 'm'.

m = 13 -7

m = 6

Therefore, The total number of small drinks 's' bought by Maria is 7.

The total number of medium drinks 'm' drinks bought by Maria is 6.

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

L = 3√5

Step-by-step explanation:

A square and a rectangle have equal areas.

Area of a square = Area of a rectangle

L² = H * W

If the dimensions of the rectangle are 15 units by 3 units,

L² = 15 * 3

L² = 45

Determine the length of the side of the square.

L = √45

L = 3√5
