40p + 55p = 95p

435p ÷ 95p = 4.57...

So, the sum of the two pairs can go into £4.35 four times.

That meant if I increase the buns & cakes four times, it will help me get closer to the sum of £4.35 & work out which was extra

(40 x 4 = 160) & (55 x 4 = 220)

160 + 220= 380p or £3.80

Adding them up I get 380 pence & that's 55p short to getting to the sum of 435p or £4.35

(435-380=55p)

Thus, the extra is the cake, meaning you bought 4 buns and 5 cakes.

Hope this helps!

By solving a linear equation, we conclude that you bought 4 buns and 5 cakes.

<h3>How many of each did I buy?</h3>

We will define the two variables:

  • x = number of buns bought.
  • y = number of cakes bought.

We know that you spent exactly £4.35, then we only need to solve the linear equation:

x*0.40 + y*0.55 = 4.35

We need to solve that equation for x and y, such that the values of x and y can only be positive whole numbers.

We can rewrite the equation as:

y*0.55 = 4.35 - x*0.40

y = (4.35 - x*0.40)/0.55

Now we only need to evaluate it in different values of x, and see for which value of x, the outcome y is also a whole number.

We will see that for x = 4, we have:

y = (4.35 - 4*0.40)/0.55 = 5

So you bought 4 buns and 5 cakes.

Determine whether the given value is a solution of the equation. 36 = k 6 ; k = 6 6 a solution of 36 = k 6 .
Mila [183]

Answer:

Yes: the variable K would equal "6"

Step-by-step explanation:

After you set you equation up, you have to isolate the given variable. To do that you have to do the recipriocal (6k-multiplying) which would be division. You would divide k = 36 ÷ 6 . that isolates the variable ,which you would then solve. k = 6 .

Consider the rectangle enlargement. Pls answer the three questions I will mark brainliest!!
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

  • Perimeter of the original Rectangle is

2(4.5+4.3)=2×8.8= <u>17.6</u><u> </u><u>mm</u>

  • Side length of the enlarged rectangle is

\frac{4.5}{4.3}  =  \frac{24.3}{x}  \\ x =  \frac{24.3 \times 4.3}{4.5}  \\  \boxed{x = 23.22 \: mm}

  • Perimeter of the enlarged rectangle

2(24.3+23.22)= 2×47.52= <u>95.04 mm</u>

Find the value of m .​
kondor19780726 [428]

Step-by-step explanation:

if the 2 matrices are inverse, then their product must be the identity matrix

1 0

0 1

so,

m×3 + 2×-7 = 1

7×3 + 3×-7 = 0

m×-2 + 2×m = 0

7×-2 + 3×m = 1

that means we have to solve only

3m - 14 = 1

3m = 15

m = 5
