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.

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.

The graph below represents which system of inequalities? graph of two infinite lines that intersect at a point. One line is soli

stiks02 [169]

The first line through points (-3, 0) and (-4, -1) is the orange line.

The second line, through (1, 1) and (2, -1) is the purple line.

Since they are both shaded below, the intersection of the shaded regions, is the region colored in blue.

Both lines are included, since they are solid lines.

The equation of the first line can be found as follows:

the slope is $\frac{0-(-1)}{-3-(-4)}=\frac{1}{1}=1$ , thus, the equation is:
$y-0=1(x-(-4))\\\\y=x+4$

The equation of the second line can be found as follows:

the slope is $\frac{1-(-1)}{1-2}= \frac{2}{-1}=-2$ ,

thus the equation of the second line is :

$y-1=-2(x-1)\\\\y-1=-2x+2\\\\y=-2x+3$

We have to decide on the direction of the inequality sign, so we pick a point, for example (0, 4) which is not in the colored regions of the lines,

so we write the inequalities so that they do not hold for (0, 4)

line 1:

y≥x+4

4≥0+4=4 is true, so we change the sign and write : y≤x+4

similarly, line 2:

y≤-2x+3

4≤-2*0+3=3, which is not true, so we have the correct direction.

Note that since the lines were solid, we include the equality case:

Answer:

the shaded region is the solution to the system of inequalities:

i) y≤x+4
ii) y≤-2x+3
